V V Brown

Well, we definitely weren’t ready for this highly innovative musical experience which refuses the status quo through genre-blurring soundscapes.

This jaw-dropping record is a cutting-edge exploration of black identity that takes influences from James Baldwin, Erykah Badu, Soul To Soul, Roots Manuva and Windrush Generation poets. A meticulously crafted collaborative masterpiece, where a fusion of artists young and old unite to share their cultural and sociological experiences, with V V Brown’s stunning vocals leading the charge. Had this been released earlier in the year with time for us to road test it on the shopfloor, it would likely have been a Top 5 album.
