VV Brown Gives Lollipops and Politics On 2nd Album

The last two years must have felt like travelling like the speed of light for VV Brown. Her debut album was released in 2009 in the UK and one year later in the US. Last month she returned with her, self proclaimed classic, first single "Children". She has already released a 12 minute long mixtape 'The Playground' for free (see below) which is a precursor for her upcoming second album 'Lollipops & Politics'. Next month she will be going on tour in the US.

Check out a clip for "Children" featuring Chiddy cut to behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of the album:


V V also recently went on Turntable FM to debut a new mixtape directly to her fans, check that out here:


Other highlights on the album include "Be Yours", a Ronettes-style ballad introduced by a wall of drums and a dream-like killer chorus ("It's the only love song on the record," V V says, "I find it hard to write love songs when I'm happy") and "Like Fire" which opens against two minutes of fuzzed-out discordant synthesizer and builds to a cinematic, hurricane climax of strings and a voice unleashed. "I'm so proud of that song as I wrote it myself, played all instruments, and arranged the strings," V Vsays. Then there's "Famous", which V V co-wrote with her other producer Bjorn Yttling, of feted Swedish indie rockers Peter, Bjorn and John.
