ROCKABILLY popstar VV Brown, real name Vanessa, certainly brightens up the charts with her debut album Travelling Like The Light.
The singer and model's musical bow is a refreshingly different collection of songs which straddle old school Elvis style rock and roll and modern soul and R&B.
Northampton's Brown, who turned down both P Diddy's Bad Boy Records and Oxford University en route to this release, sounds vocally assured, matching the conviction to tread her own path.
So while the album does inevitably descend into doo wop shtick, there's enough on Travelling Like The Light - not least surefire hits like Leave! and Shark In The Water - to indicate a promise that could go a long way.
