Product Description
Product Description
2010 release from the critically acclaimed R&B/Soul vocalist. Vivian approached the recording of Beautiful in a more intimate, organic manner. With the exception of 'Save Me,' which she cut with Jason Farmer (Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Wyclef Jean) in the producer's seat, Vivian recorded the entire album with Grammy-Nominated producer Anthony Bell, a longtime friend and collaborator who made key production contributions to her first two albums, and whose extensive credits also includes work with Jazmine Sullivan, Musiq, Raheem Devaughn and Jill Scott.

"a love story" is still in heavy rotation in my iPod. "vivian," not so much. which brings me to "beautiful..." the album is friggin AMAZING!
does it have weak moments, YES, "better man" coulda been scrapped. was "beautiful" the BEST choice as the first single? NO, "i know how" woulda been received better to radio
HOWEVER, what initially drew me to viv back in 2002 was her WRITING & her VOCAL performance & honey, she is not missing a BEAT!
"too intense," can DEFINITELY get play if released on the dance charts
"somewhere" & "jordan's song," the vocals are absolutely CHILLING
the aforementioned "i know how" & "one of none," once again, vivian is able to craft a song about some REAL ish & baby, both songs are so therapeutic
this album won't do big numbers (if any at all) due to bad (or a lack of) promotion along with weak single choices...i downloaded off iTunes AND i just ordered myself a hard copy off amazon...if i don't support the artists i love, who will?

Vivian Green is back!!!!

Format:Audio CD
I saw Vivian at Birchmere in VA last night and she is back with a vengeance. Her whole set was from the new cd (except 3 songs done as an encore). At first I was was a little taken aback, but I loved everything she did! I couldn't wait to get up and get the cd this morning. My new favorite song is Caught Up. Other hot ones are Better Man, When We're Apart, Save Me, I Know How...,Somewhere, and Too Intense. Her song for her son Jordan is every parent's anthem, it's so heartfelt and beautiful. The story behind it is heartbreaking but unbelievably hopeful and a testament to the power of God-trust Him and his plan!!!!!! Pick it up and enjoy new Vivian!

Take it or leave it

When I saw her album in the store, I couldn't wait to put it into my player and see how it turned out. This is a very good album, and Vivian sounds just as good as she ever did. People need to stop classifying artists as this or that and just judge them by how the album sounds. Who cares if their past albums were a different style and this one doesn't measure up in your opinion. Just ask yourself, would you take it or leave it. And this album I would definitely take.
