Released on Monday, Jul 6 2009

Enter stage right 'Shark In The Water'. It begins in bright, breezy fashion, all girl group backing vocals and guitar-strumming that brings to mind Craig McLachlan's 'Mona', before something a bit magical happens - the arrival of a pure pop chorus as huge and all-consuming as a T.rex that's just come off hunger strike. Crossover radio smash? Here's hoping - but it's hard to see how she could do any more.

This is eaaaaaaasily one of the best songs of the year. It's such a shame she doesn't get the credit she oh so rightfully deserve :(
This is such an amazing song!!! And i cant believe all the reviews except 1 have given it 5 stars!!! Cant wait for her album, crying blood is awesome too :)
I love this song so much & I hope it does well by the end of the week. One of the best songs of 2009 so far!
Guys this song is between 35 and 40 in the midweek charts. Argh i hope people need to have this song it is incredible! VV Brown deserves Top 10 with a tune like this. Got to love VV Brown
V V Brown has been criminally over looked in the music industry lately, Radio 1 even snubbed this to make their playlist but that doesn't take away the fact that she's up their with Little Boots, La Roux, Florence Welch and Lady GaGa as one of the best newcomers of this year. The song is catchy without being annoying and sophisticated without being boring. Perfection and I hope this song can give her the success she so deserves.
Radio1 won't playlist the song even though it should be on their A Playlist because it is AMAZING! They are so foolish not to have this on the air. This song is what will make the UK notice VV Brown even more! Love it 10/10 song!
this is a great song but I haven't heard it on the radio even once. whats going on??
Lets hope that this is noticed so that VV can have her first hit :) Love it!
This song is awesome, this song needs to get around more. I'm angry Radio1 won't playlist this song. Everyone spread the word. VV Brown needs a big break!
Why hasn't radio 1 playlisted this song yet. I am so annoyed they play chavvy songs instead class song like this, just predictable a stupid mainstream radio station. Anyway, who cares just buy the song so it goes to number 1 please! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best singers to come out of 2009, and one of the songs of the year, amazing!
This song is very good... however, theres the 'Wendle Kos Sunshine Mix' that makes it even more amazing! Great track
Still sounds great after all this time. Just wanted to add another 5-star rating to it.
