VV Brown - Game Over

Although she's written some great pop gems this year ('Shark In The Water', 'LEAVE!', 'Crying Blood'), VV Brown doesn't seem to be getting the full recognition she clearly deserves. 'Game Over' is the third single from her eclectic debut LP Travelling Like The Light - an album we instantly fell in love with and one of the best records you'll hear in 2009.

Skipping playfully over anything that springs to mind; doo-wop, pop, Game Boy sound effects, indie, funk, soul - you name it, VV isn't your average singer by a long shot. Latest track 'Game Over' again shows her wide diversity, with Brown this time rolling down a path of retro-futuristic pop. The backing is a heavy mix of crashing funk drum breaks, blasting Motown horns and "na na na-na-na nah" chants - basically a million miles from the usual crowd hogging the top spot.

If we had our way, VV would have just released her first number one. Lets just hope radio chooses to play this alongside Lady Gaga and Taio Cruz.
