V V Brown - Children
Artist: V V Brown
Featuring: Chiddy Bang
Producer: Chuck Harmony
Album: Lollipops & Politics
Label: Capitol Records
Does your bedroom decor prominently feature stuffed animals? Do you have to suppress an urge to run outside waving a dollar bill when you hear the ice cream truck roll past your residence? Then you’re part of the target audience for V V Brown‘s latest single and first Booth feature. An anthem for Children and the young at heart, this Evan “Kidd” Bogart-cowritten cut finds the London-repping pop songstress mixing childish exuberance with motivational cheerleading; over Chuck Harmony‘s irresistibly bouncy production (featuring a sample of popular children’s tune and Barney staple Do Your Ears Hang Low?), she waxes idealistic about the potential of youth to change the world, juxtaposing images of “buildings… crumbling right to the ground” with kids innocently “flying kites.” Philly phenom Chiddy (of Chiddy Bang fame) assists on the guest tip, spitting about his humble upbringing (“Mama was hurtin’, and she couldn’t spend a penny more…”) while holding himself up as an example of what big dreams can accomplish. In sum, it’s the kind of song that you’ll be humming all day whether you like it or not—if you do like it, stay tuned for further details on the singer’s yet-untitled/unscheduled sophomore set.

Brown can actually sing her ass off, so its a shame to her hear her succumb to the pressures of major record label influences and a radio hit mentality. If you've always found this melody annoying, nothing Brown does here will change that. However, if you've always had a sweet spot in your musical heart for the melody, there is a lot to like as far as ear candy is concerned.
