VV Brown - Shark In The Water

Grande nouvelle : il semblerait bien que la déferlante VV Brown s'apprête à gagner la France !

VV Brown, à tout juste 24 ans, est une véritable icône musicale et fashion chez elle en Angleterre. Choriste gospel dans sa jeunesse, signée en major à 19 ans, background vocaliste sur le premier album des Pussycat Dolls, la belle s'est payé le luxe de refuser la proposition de P. Diddy de produire son premier album.

« Je ne voulais pas devenir une diva du RnB, dit elle. Les artistes que j'adore, d'Alicia Keys à Amy Winehouse parviennent à toucher les gens parce qu'ils ne se compromettent pas. Ils jouent une musique qui reflète ce qu'ils sont. J'ai eu besoin de tout ce qu'il s'est passé avec ce premier contrat pour me dire : JE REFUSE DE ME COMPROMETTRE. »

VV Brown claque alors la porte de sa première maison de disques et se retrouve fauchée. L'histoire raconte qu'elle vend alors son clavier pour payer son billet de retour vers l'Angleterre, achète même une guitare aux puces... sur laquelle elle composera dès le lendemain un des morceaux qui figurent sur son album.

4 singles classés dans les charts, mannequin pour une agence, instigatrice d'un e-commerce de mode vintage, le succès de VV Brown en Angleterre est indiscutable. Chez nous, elle va de synchro en synchro. Les synchros ce sont ces musiques qui accompagnent les pubs. Apple en est le roi : la plupart des choix de la firme de Cuppertino pour illustrer ses spots TV ont propulsé ses auteurs en tête de ventes (The Ting Tings par exemple avec Shut Up And Let Me Go, Yael Naïm aussi avec New Soul).

Après Leave ! pour la BNP Paribas à l'automne, c'est au tour de Shark In The Water d'être choisie pour appuyer une campagne de communication, pour les magasins Alinéa cette fois. Et ça tombe plutôt pas mal puisqu'il s'agit du deuxième single de son excellent album "Travelling Like The Light".

Subtil mélange de classe et d'une énergie débordante (sur scène notamment), de soul et de pop, de fraîcheur et de rétro, le tout servi par une voix sublime, VV Brown est sans conteste l'une des artistes les plus prometteuses de ces dernières années.

VV Brown (comme Lady GaGa) a ceci de fascinant et de magique qu'elle parvient à plaire tant à un public "populaire", qu'à des oreilles plus habituées aux "scènes indépendantes". Elle fait de la pop au sens le plus noble et met tous les préjugés à terre.

Pour conclure en beauté, voici un sublime live de Shark In The Water... dans un taxi !

Kid Cudi

I bet Kid Cudi is gonna upgrade security at his concerts after being kissed by a male fan on stage during his performance.
While the rapper was in the middle of a song, a fan managed to jump on stage with the singer and kissed him on the mouth before being kicked off by security personnel... After the incident, Kid Cudi immediately resumed his performance like a true pro.

Kid you could work this to your advantage... Look at Enrique Iglesias, he often gets men on stage and serenades them!

Keane

Keane have announced details of their fourth album, which is due to be released around 11th May and one thing that noticeable is there’s only 8 tracks!
The album titled ‘Night train’ features collaborations with rapper (yes rapper) K’Naan and vocals from Tim Rick-Oxley (The keyboard player)
Front man Tom Chaplin explained that the title and material was born from Keane's last world tour for 2008's album “Perfect Symmetry,” The band's favorite method of traveling became taking trains between gigs... “The idea was to chuck out a single, or at most an EP in October,”... “But it turned into something more. I think we see it as a body of work that we made during touring. Just a document of different places and moods.”
I can’t wait, I’ve love all 3 of their albums!

Here is the track list for ‘Night Train’:

“House Lights”
“Back in Time”
“Stop For a Minute” (featuring K'Naan)
“Clear Skies”
“Ishin Dengshin (You've Got To Help Yourself)” (Featuring Tigarah)
“Your Love”
“Looking Back” (Featuring K'Naan)
“My Shadow”
