V V BROWN ANNOUNCES UK TOUR“Channeling a young Yoko Ono and drama of Grace Jones, there were flashes of Tina Turner in her performance with bolts of electric energy rippling throughout her and permeating the crowd. VV is back and sounding better than ever.” HUFFINGTON POST “Wraparound electronica a brave return” – THE INDEPENDENT “Fever Ray and the underbelly of M83. A left turn” GUARDIAN GUIDE “VV is back and she is not messing about. Brown has worked with Dave Okumu and crafted a more mature electronic soul sound that suggests she's gunning to become the new Jessie Ware“ TIMEOUT “Her voice is still great” NME “VV Brown is back! And she has never sounded (or looked) better.” – COMPANY V V Brown announces a full UK Tour in October celebrating the release of her highly anticipated album Samson & Delilah. Her new album initiates a new direction and chapter for the multi-talented songstress with an edgier darker electronic sound co-produced by Mercury Award winning producer and The Invisible frontman Dave Okumu. Having previewed new material at a series of intimate headline shows and festival appearances throughout the summer V V has picked up rave reviews and critical acclaim and continues to prove herself to be a luminous presence vocally, visually and creatively. Having already achieved over 1 million worldwide single sales and topped the charts in France with her critically acclaimed debut album 'Travelling Like The Light', V V Brown is firmly etched on public consciousness. Aside from her musical rise to fame, V V became the first black British woman to front an ad campaign for renowned U.K. retailer Marks & Spencer and is now a celebrated fashion designer with her VVVintage collection, featured at London Fashion Week and gracing the pages of Vogue. The VVVintage “Mary Benson collection” will be stocked in Topshop in September after LFW 2013. This October tour gives her fans the chance to catch V V at her very best hot off the back of the release of new single The Apple and album Samson & Delilah both released in September. 2013 will also see VV Brown tour the US and the rest of Europe before the year is out.
