Vivid and The Green Room are still on repeat. I'm beyond excited for this.

I love love "I Don't Know", when I heard the full version yesterday, I think I played it about fifteen times. Such a great one, the sample is flawless too.

I appreciate Kwamé's not going for the obvious and finding another old school soul record to flip. I hope Urban AC receives it with open arms; she deserves another top-10 hit! |

I appreciated Vivid cause we got a more mainstream sound from her.
Everything I’ve been hearing so far seems like even more of that same sound but with polished production. I can’t wait, it all sounds so crisp so far.

I still don't like I Don't Know (the sample ruins it for me) but the rest of the album is fire.

I really enjoyed this. Nice heavy production, every song knocks.
She actually made me enjoy Musiq Soulchild on a song lol

This is on par with Vivid for me. Again, Kwamé is the best thing to happen to her career.

Sunglasses
Mutual Feelings
The 1st Time (Again)
Promise
Happy with You
I love that she's not keeping herself in the safe zone of UAC-oriented ballads like her cohorts. I can definitely see myself enjoying it for a really long time just like Vivian and Vivid. The duet with Musiq Soulchild is totally pointless, though. I still prefer her solo version.

i skimmed this earlier and it did nothing for me. "Vivid" was instant for me. I'll give it another listen.

The “overture” is probably the best intro of an album I’ve heard in a really long time.

I briefly skimmed through the album. I like what I heard/listened to so far. I do miss the old Vivian Green but this current sound isn't so bad. For me her albums goes as follow...
Vivian
A Love Story
Vivid
VGVI
The Green Room
Beautiful (I honestly don't remember anything from this one except Beautiful)

The good news: I Don't Know is up to #15 on Adult R&B/Urban AC.
The not-so-good news: The only chart VGVI made it on was R&B/Hip-Hop Album *Sales* at #39 but the sales were less than 1,300. Vivid debuted at #10 on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #23 on Independent with 1,900 first week and has sold 64k to date.

Yes, which was an improvement. I don't think either of her eOne albums sold more than 25k. |

They released the album too soon. "I don't know" wasn't as big of a hit as "get back to my baby."

Serious question though...why would an artist like Vivan even bother to release an album? Why not just release 1 single at a time? She can still tour and really work her records at urban AC.

Most likely because it can be cheaply produced for her. I believe $9.99 for an album is better than $1.29 for a song with an independent artist. Profit is much higher without any major heads in the mix |

Second single is still between Vibes or Promise. I believe Vibes is Vivian’s personal choice but Promise has had better streams/downloads.
