Album NotesContains an untitled hidden track on track #14.Personnel: Vivian Green (vocals); Cheryl Stevens (vocals); Junius Bervine, Steve McKie (various instruments); Dave Manley, Clay Sears, Chuck Treese, Ben O'Neil (guitar); Jeff Bradshaw (trombone); James Poyser (piano, keyboards, programming); Christopher Weatherbe (keyboards); Steve Green (programming).In the three years after Vivian Green released A LOVE STORY, she had a child and fleshed out the neo-soul nuances that made that 2002 debut such a delightful surprise. VIVIAN reflects the Philly native's increased confidence, and exhibits her willingness to incorporate more hip-hop spice into her overall sound. Much as they did on her first record, the trials and tribulations of romance continue to be Green's muse. Chuck Treese's rapid-fire acoustic-guitar riffs spice up the indignation of "Mad," and the sharper beats on the samples lacing "I Like It (But I Don't Need It)" give Green a mix of vulnerability and determination reminiscent of Mary J. Blige.Green's unwillingness to settle for sub-standard treatment also comes across in the lush but melancholy "Gotta Go Gotta Leave (Tired)." Green also finds plenty of positivity in her love life, though. There's a willingness to make her relationship work amid the swaggering beats and scratching of "All About Us," and a fantasy about having a tryst with her significant other within the swirling ambiance of "Sweet Thing."
