V V BROWN DROPS NEW SINGLE "CHILDREN FEATURING CHIDDY + PREPS SOPHOMORE ALBUM LOLLIPOPS & POLITICS
Announces US Tour Dates in Select Cities
Long awaited details about V V Brown's sophomore release on Capitol Records are taking shape and the record's title and track-list are official. LOLLIPOPS & POLITICS is the next album from the British singer-songwriter. Now this 27-year-old dynamo, who hails fromNorthampton, England, is back with her second album which finds her taking a major stylistic leap by bending herself into experimental musical shape.
The first single from LOLLIPOPS & POLITICS, "Children" was released digitally in the states on September 20th and features rapperChiddy (of Philadelphia's Chiddy Bang). Produced by Rihanna, Mary J Blige, and Ne-Yo collaborator Chuck Harmony (whom V Vworked with on five of the album's tracks), "Children" is a hip-pop classic, with one ear cocked to Kelis' "Milkshake" and the other to T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution." "It's pop," V V says, "but that doesn't mean it can't be interesting."
Check out a clip for "Children" featuring Chiddy cut to behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of the album:http://www.vevo.com/watch/v-v-brown-1/children-behind-the-scenes/USCA31100121
V V recently guest DJed on Turntable FM to debut a new mixtape directly to her fans, check that out here: http://soundcloud.com/vv-brown/the-playground
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 V says. Then there's "Famous", which V V co-wrote with her other producer Bjorn Yttling, of feted Swedish indie rockers Peter, Bjorn and John.
