V V WILL RELEASE HER NEW ALBUM ‘GLITCH’ ON SEPTEMBER 25 THROUGH YOY RECORDS

SHE PLAYS A ONE-OFF SHOW AT THE BREWHOUSE IN LONDON ON SEPTEMBER 16

“If Björk and Grace Jones had a lesbian experience and managed to have a baby, I hope I’d be that! I wanna be that woman. A real-fashion-naked-animalistic-Amazonian-angry-crazy woman. I’d love to be that woman. I am that woman.” - V V

“‘Shift’ by V V is as electrifying as her previous musical treasures and the video is one of the best yet” - Notion

“V V gets her deep-house, after-hours freak on” - Sunday Times Culture

“There’s a lot to love in Shift’s squelchy, ever-shifting electro-throb” - The Guardian

“Visionary” - The 405

“Shift continues her course to becoming some sort of magnificent neo-Grace Jones. There’s no doubt about it: this is f-ing fantastic, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone in modern pop doing anything this exciting.” - PressPLAY

“V V is finally completely comfortable with who, what and where she is as an artist” - Popjustice

V V (Formerly V V Brown) has announced the release of her new album ‘Glitch’, through her own label YOY Records on September 25. She recently revealed a teaser track ‘Instincts’, and the first single ‘Shift’, prompting a wave critical acclaim.

To celebrate the album’s release, V V will play a one-off show at The Brewhouse in Hackney, London on September 16.

‘Glitch’ is a towering record that is as intimate as it is glorious as it is soulful as it is hardcore. Recorded in V V’s own studio in Hackney, mostly with a single collaborator – producer Nearly Native (whom V V discovered on SoundCloud prior to starting work on this record) – Glitch is a set of songs that mix dark Eighties electro with DIY techno opera with future electronica, and much more besides. The record is an evolution of V V’s sound, just as the change in her name is an evolution. As well as Nearly Native, V V worked with producer Bunki on the album’s Buddhist chant-sampling opening track ‘Bells’.

The full track listing for ‘Glitch’ is:

Bells
Lazarus
Fractured
Instincts
Money Sex Power
Ultraviolet
Violet
Space To Breathe
Flatline
Shift
Talk About This
Sacrifice
Will You Wait

‘Glitch’ is V V’s third album to be released, following 2013’s acclaimed ‘Samson & Deliliah’ and her 2009 debut ‘Travelling Like The Light’. She famously mothballed her second recorded album ‘Lollipops & Politics’, unhappy with the record’s musical direction.

“I’m addicted to being challenged” says V V, “over the course of making this album there was a lot of internal fighting. It’s that thing when you turn 30, and you really reflect on your life. ‘Samson & Delilah’ was all about finding strength – and this album is about holding on to it. You can hear the exhaustion, and jolts in my mind and body, squeezing tight to every bit of hope I have left of surviving my own rebellion. That’s what this album is about. How am I gonna deal with this change? So there’s definitely hope. But it’s a war of hope and fear - a total pendulum. But now I’ve finished the record, I feel peace again.”
