"Leave!" is the second single by singer VV Brown from her first album Travelling Like The Light. It was released on March 2, 2009, and was accompanied by a music video. This single, like her first single "Crying Blood" failed to reach the charts.
Quote:
Brown told the Guardian newspaper that she spent two years living in LA, "depressed, addicted to sleeping pills and dating an idiot." She earned some money doing session work as a backing singer but by early 2007, the English singer-songwriter had had enough of America. Leaving her hopeless boyfriend for good, she returned to London to start over and started grafting on UK's club circuit, before being snapped up by Island Records. Her ex inspired this wake-up call to a woman in a bad relationship. Brown recalled to The London Times: "Shortly after I got signed I was doing a show. I always introduce this song by saying it's a song about 'my a---hole ex-boyfriend'. I didn't realise he was in the audience until he asked me for royalties. Was he serious? He's the sort of person that would try it on, yes."
My Score: 8
Pretty solid track for VV, decent position for it.
Flawless hidden gem. The wonky pianos, the wonky singing, the wonky lyrics. It's all so raw Marina. I've been in love ever since Mermaid vs Sailor. I don't think she'll ever go back to a sound that's as real or lyrics that are that insightful for a very long time.
Aww, I like Seventeen, but it's not like it's an absolute favorite of mine. I had hoped that Travelling Like the Light would have been worse than Leave! + I'm sad that they're both out quickly already... oh well. Saviour is a pretty solid song! Nice that it got this far.
Thank God Game Over is this far because I really really love it. Hopefully top 15 because I doubt it'll be top 10. Let's see how the rest of this goes...
I think that some of the re-release tracks where on the U.S. release of Lights, which came out almost a year after it was released in the U.K. And then to release these new tracks in the U.K. they re-released the album, and Your Song was the lead single from that... I think.
