VV Brown Vanessa Brown Back To The Music Promo

At 18, Brown was invited to an open audition for VH1 divas by friends and was stopped outside the venue by an executive from London Records. Brown was offered a development deal by London records. The development soon came to an end and, at 19, Brown was offered a deal by Polydor records in the UK and A&M records in the US. Her debut single was "Whipped".

She relocated to Los Angeles to work on her debut album Back To The Music. In preparation she performed at LA's Mint Club. A five track promo CD was released to executives but the album was then shelved.

'Back To The Music' which was set to be released in the UK in 2006 was executive produced by Ron Fair - the man who discovered Christina Aguilera and turned Black Eyed Peas into multi-million sellers by A&Ring their Elephunk album. Vanessa wrote almost every track on the album. Some were written in Northampton when she was still a pre-teen.

In preparation Vanessa performed to a packed crowd in LA's Mint Club where she showcased songs from 'Back To The Music' to the US music industry in mid 2005. A five track promo CD was released to executives but the album was then shelved and has not been released to date. The tracks on the unreleased Promotional album were "Whipped", "Nobody Loves Me", "Dangerous Love", "Back To The Music", and "Calling Out Your Name". Six other known tracks from these recording sessions are "Eternal Life", which is a b-side for the 2 track Whipped Single released in 2005, "Angel", "Imagination", "Loverboy", "Never The Less" and "Whatever It Takes" (which along with Whipped and Back To The Music were arranged with David Campbell). Clips of those 5 tracks have been found but not the full length versions to date. The hook for standout track 'Nobody Loves Me' was written when Vanessa was just 11 - it was recorded in West Hollywood a decade later.

Pistol Annies: Hell On Heels -Single




So Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley have been two of my favorite country singer songwriters for a few years now. At the ACM Girls Night Out event they made their debut with Miranda Lambert in a trio called Pistol Annies. Below is there first single Hell On Heels.


Kicking off with a spare, almost sinister acoustic guitar before slowly layering in a light percussion line and a light bluesy electric guitar riff in the background, the Pistol Annies' first single, "Hell on Heels," is highly impressive. It rocks my socks and has me dying for a full albums worth of material.
