"Leave!" is the second single by singer VV Brown from her debut album Travelling Like The Light. It was released on March 2, 2009 and was acompanied by a music video. This single, like her first single Crying Blood failed to chart.

Critical Reception

Digitalspy^[1] gave the song 4 out of 5 stars they said this about the song "The song itself, which mixes girl group pop with Ronson-esque beats and a hint of new wave, is just as direct as her message, but a whole lot easier to swallow. Thank heavens she chose to sweeten the pill!". The review was mostly positive. It was also the first song by VV Brown to be reviewed on digitalspy because for some reason "Crying Blood" wasn't put onto their data base when it was released.

Femalefirst.co.uk^[2] also gave the song 4 out of 5 stars. They started the review by comparing her to other successful voices saying "VV Brown is the newest singer to try and make some cash out of a voice that sounds like Amy Winehouse / Duffy / Adele and all credit to her, she does it well. Fair enough, it might not be the most original sound of all time". They ended the review positively by saying "Her funky doo-wap-de-doo-wap sound brings something back to the music industry that seemed to have disappeared many years ago as the like of bubble gum pop came onto the scene. Her no-frills attitude, mixed with the perfect blend of 50’s pop and (at the very end) almost MC-ing sound make VV Brown one to watch in 2009".

Music Video

The video starts off with Brown standing in front of a box and then the camera circles the box. Then stuff starts to appear inside the box like a pile of clothes, wine glasses, Brown inside a room, a painting, Brown's chine and mouth, a picture of Brown with a man, Browns head, telephone, Brown on a bed with a keyboard, a man on a phone, her hands ripping a picture, a vase with a plant inside, a vase with a dead plant inside, disco ball and a TV. Even though the outside of the box is brown cardboard the inside of the box differs each time from pink, blue, red or green.^[3] The video was uploaded onto YouTube in January (the first version of the video is not available in the UK). On 6 February 2009 behind the scenes footage of the video shoot was released onto YouTube^[4].
