Beautiful is the third upcoming studio album by American singer-songwriter Vivian Green, slated to be released by E1 Music on April 6, 2010 in the United States. The album is heavily produced by grammy- nominated long time friend and collaborator Anthony Bell with an addition production cut from Jason Farmer. Beautiful is the album's leading single and was released February 23, 2010.[1]
Beautiful is a musical and personal landmark for the charismatic Philadelphia-bred singer/songwriter/pianist, continuing the vibrant creative evolution that began with her breakthrough debut album A Love Story and continued on her widely acclaimed follow up Vivian.
Throughout Beautiful, Vivian Green delivers compellingly contemporary R&B songcraft that's steeped in the emotional immediacy of classic soul. The songs explore the ins and outs of love from a variety of perspectives, from the youthful romanticism of "Somewhere" to the playful insight of "Better Man" to the hard-won intensity of "When We’re Apart" and "Beautiful."
"These songs are all very personal, even if they're not all directly about me," Vivian asserts, adding, "A lot of them are songs I couldn't have written on my first two albums, because I just didn't have the experience or the wisdom at the time." "It's the most fun I've ever had making a record," Vivian says of Beautiful’s birth cycle. "We worked in Anthony's studio, which is in his home, and it was a very relaxed, creative environment. If I wanted to sit down at the piano and start writing a song from scratch, like I did with 'Somewhere,' I could. The whole experience was very natural and comfortable, and I hope that you can hear that in the music."
Co-writing with Vivian on four of Beautiful's songs was her younger brother Solomon Green, a budding rapper whom she'd been urging to branch out into songwriting. "I always felt he should diversify," she explains. "One day I brought him to the studio to write with me, and it was like, wow. It was awesome and rewarding to watch my baby brother blossom that way, and I'm really proud of him."[2]
