New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Capitol Records) - V V Brown has already ignited TV screens with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ellen, The Late Late Show with
Craig Ferguson, and Rachael Ray. Her smash single 'Shark in the Water' from her debut Travelling Like the Light is being spun on over 90 pop and adult stations nationally, having just entered the Adult Top 40, and features in the trailer for the forthcoming big screen comedy 'Just Wright,' starring
Queen Latifah and Common. Now North American audiences will have their best opportunity yet to catch this exciting new talent live as she hits the road with
Maroon 5 this summer, starting Thursday, August 5 at the DTE
Energy Center in Clarkston, MI.
'The latest sassy U.K. soul diva to invade our shores knows how to juggle elegance with attitude.' - USA Today
"V V Brown's initials must stand for va-va voom. In one of the most electrifying performances in recent memory, the young British diva shook the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Her brief but phenomenal 50-minute set displayed the best elements of girl pop, from Andrews Sister boogie-woogie to Gaga-esque goo.' - NY Post
'Her enthusiasm immediately leaps from the grooves, but this debut also reveals and emotional and musical range her neo-retro peers lack: She veers from rockabilly punk to Beyonce-schooled R&B without an unseemly squeak' - Spin
V V has made dozens of impressive appearances on television, in online posts, and on the live festival stage. In the U.K. and Europe, V V has performed with The Ting Tings, Ladyhawke, Femi Kuti, and Antony & the Johnsons, among others, and was the only new artist tapped to play the main stage at the 2009 Glastonbury festival. The 25-year-old Brown recently finished a run of dates with Little Dragon, as well as a series of headlining shows in key markets including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and Washington DC.
