Biography

Swedish singer, born February 18, 1972. She was born in Hjällbo, northeast of Gothenburg. When she moved to Stockholm in the 1990s, she started working as a phone receptionist for influential Swedish record label Telegram records and this eventually led to a record deal. Brown’s 1994 album Giving You The Best peaked at no 1 in the Swedish charts and stayed in the chart for 22 weeks. Her two follow up albums did not sell as well as her debut album, but did quite well in their own right with In My Garden (1997) peaking at no 9 and Vera (1998), peaking at no 8. She has recorded mainly as a solo artist, but also as part of the soul/jazz/pop crew [a=Blacknuss]. The single "Tuesday Afternoon" was a hit single in Scandinavia, and reached #57 in the UK Singles Chart. Outside Scandinavia her work is perhaps best known, through the highly successful cover of her song Alive by trance artist [a=Paul van Dyk], which was renamed We Are Alive and became a top 20 hit across Europe in 2000. In the beginning her music was modern soul and R&B but later experimented with the acoustic singer-songwriter tradition and straight up radio friendly pop. Her 2009 mini album Bloom in November, was inspired by classic Motown sound.

LYRICS

It was on a Tuesday afternoon
Josie was one of those easy girls who had wide eyes
And she was drawn in by the incense at the Mission Room Bar
You know, once she got in the boys attacked her like o movie star
And as soon as she got nervous she was drinkin' and smokin'
Like a lover caught chokin' on another man bone
But clicking her heels wouldn't get her home
She called ma laughin' from a pay phone

ON THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON
JOSIE GOT CAUGHT IN THE MISSION ROOM
WHERE THE MAN ARE CRAZY AND THE WOMEN ARE TOO
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT'S WEDNESDAY IN THE AFTERNOON
IN THE AFTERNOON

Just before 2:15 in the morning
Josie was doin' the Hustle with a ruffneck named James
And they were bumpin' and grindin' and grindin' and bumpin'
You know once you get there it's hard to stop the bass from pumpin'
And as soon as she was willing Jimmy jeep was rollin'
And her lips were swollen from the fat shit she was tokin'
By 4 o'clock his waterbed was broken
She called me nervous from his cell phone

ON THIS ...

It ended on a Wednesday afternoon
Josie arrived at my apartment with mascara running down her cheeks
She was crying like a baby saying:"What a mistake!"
I had to sit on my hands to keep them from slapping her face
'Cause as soon as I asked her If she used protection
I saw Josie's complexion turn a shade of grey
Now what am i supposed to say?
Just don't party on a weekday

ON THIS ...
