VV Brown has spent a couple of years out of the spotlight, working in fashion and modelling for Marks & Spencer. Now she's back to what she does best - making brilliant, off the wall pop music and releases her second album Samson & Delilah on Monday (9 September, 2013).

In the time since her first album, the Northampton singer has clearly been listening to a lot of Grace Jones, because the girl has discovered a true sense of drama - as heard on her recent, superb single 'The Apple'. One of many standouts on the album, 'The Apple' is an unconventional, pounding slice of electronic R&B, and one of the summer's best pop releases.

Elsewhere on the album, Brown ups the pace with some spectacular club beats on 'I Can Give You More', goes deep and dubby on 'Igneous', get interstella on the dreamy 'Faith' (with a little nod to the George Michael classic) and delivers some seriously sublime melodies on 'Ghosts'. It's a brave, unconventional and brilliant album that showcases a star who has finally found the sound where she best fits.

VV Brown releases Samson & Delilah on 9 September 2013. Ahead of that date, we have an exclusive stream of her brand new album right here. Take an early listen to one of the most inventive British pop albums of 2013 right here.
