On the other end of the spectrum of music I like…

I have checked out two exciting new acts in two very distinctive scenes in the past week. British based pop soul vocalist VV Brown put on a spectacular show at Popscene at 330 Ritch last week. This tall, striking Jamaican/Puerto Rican beauty has a style all her own mixing pop, reggae, hip hop and Brazilian batucada rhythms into her catchy songs. VV came out in a Carnaval head dress, gold lame blouse and checkered pant suit-these English acts certainly have a wicked sense of style. She possess a powerful set of pipes. She tore through a cover of Drake’s “The Best I Ever Had” infusing this hit with dub and reggae. This Capitol recording artist is definitely someone to look out for…a star in the making. She’ll be at South By Southwest in Austin next month.
