“This album is fresh and spirited..sassy and funny at times.”; Says Vivian Green of Vivid, her fifth studio album set to release in 2015 under Producer/Artist Kwamé Holland’s label: MakeNoise/Caroline. “It’s different from my other albums because of the energy; but very much still me.”
The title is certainly fitting. Green’s prior work established her as a balladeer and this album will add to that; proving her ability to deliver feel-good upbeat records. Totally produced by Kwamé, (Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole, Fantasia) it is the first of Green’s to entice you to dance; colored with ballads that showcase her effortless vocal prowess. The stand-out first single “Get Right Back To My Baby”, features a sample from Maze ft. Frankie Beverly’s classic “Before I Let Go”.. It has a current bounce that makes you want to move. Green’s voice is powerful, alluring, and beams over the track.
Green has never followed trends, so don’t expect to hear her trying to mimic any. The music is hers and it’s the kind of record you want to take with you on a road trip, to the gym, and to the office. “Vivid gives the audience the fun, bubbly, and vibrant side of Vivian”, says Kwamé, “A side that her family and circle of friends know well, but the listener rarely gets to witness.” Vivid is undoubtedly full of zeal. “Broken” gives a strong adult approach to loves disappointments, while “Work” expresses energetic desire. “123” urges lovers to always keep something for themselves, and “Blessed” inspires gratefulness.
