Beautiful (Vivian Green album)
Beautiful represents the third full-length album by American vocalist Vivian Green, issued by E1 Music on April 6, 2010, within the United States. This release follows her departure from Columbia Records, the label responsible for her initial two albums. For production, Green collaborated once again with longtime partner Anthony Bell, with supplementary contributions from Jason Farmer. The album's lead single, the title track "Beautiful," was launched on February 23, 2010. Additionally, the track "Jordan's Song" serves as a tribute to her son.
Critical reception
Andy Kellman of Allmusic observed that although there was a five-year interval between releases and a noticeably smaller production budget, the album preserves Vivian Green's distinctive sound. The focus lies on subtle arrangements rather than prominent hooks, with lyrical themes revolving around heartbreak and emerging love, maintaining relevance and alignment with her earlier works.
Chart performance
Upon release, the album entered the Billboard 200 at position 101, reached number 26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and climbed to number 13 on the Top Independent Albums chart. By January 2012, total sales had surpassed 22,000 copies.
