Koffee Brown is a concept like no other in today's R&B. From art to music to film, most artistic outlets are currently succeeding off of unoriginal ideas that are as banal as they are recycled. But at least one new group stands high above the competition, making a mark in creativity and its entertainment merit. Koffee Brown's debut album Mars/Venus is a classic R&B moment. It explores the highs and lows of an intimate relationship from both a male and female point-of-view. With astonishing melodic composure, a unique lyrical style and an undeniable musical grace, Koffee Brown converses about relationship drama - often times trying to find solution to their problems and other times knowing that some things are too difficult to work through. But despite the outcome of the situation, Vee's sultry vocals and Fonz's silky voice work so well with each other that even in the harshest moments their togetherness is never questioned. "We mix it up. Some people like their coffee dark and others like it with cream," says Vee, the lady of the group. "But no matter how you like it, Koffee Brown is always strong." And a strong woman, along with a man who can hold his own is what makes Koffee Brown the untouchable, musical flavour that it is. Newark, New Jersey's Vee got her first break by collaborating with high profile artists such as Next and Case, and giving tracks like Next's 'Too Close' and 'Butta Love' just what they need for them to become chart-topping singles. Urban songbird Vee has also shared the spotlight with highly acclaimed artists such as Mary J. Blige and Faith. "I've spent a lot of time on the road with different artists. As a new artist, I feel like I'm bringing some really good experiences to the table." But being on stage isn't really new to Vee since "music has always been my passion". Koffee Brown is the newest discovery of producer/music impresario KayGee. In an R&B climate ripe for change, their distinctive voices and superb performance skills position Koffee Brown as true leaders of the new school.
