My New Must Have CD

OK! My friends think that I am only into pop, super girly recording artists like the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Fergie, etc. This is so not the case! Granted, I do listen to Pop. It is music makes me want to dance and helps me not take life so seriously. Life is already hectic enough. Sue me for sometimes finding pleasure in mindless music. In actuality, my favorite type of music can't really be put into one single category. It is anything that has a message and makes me think. It can be Jazz, Neo-Soul, R and B, Soft Rock, or even Country. Basically, I enjoy music that elevates me mentally and tells stories that I can feel with my heart.

Years ago I discovered an artist named Vivian Green. In 2002, she released her Debut CD "Love Story". I played that CD so much it was crazy. It detailed the pain of an unstable relationship, leaving that relationship, and finding new love. I could connect to so many

of the things she wrote about. It was as if she wrote that album for me and about me!

Her new album, "Beautiful", does not disappoint. The title track "Beautiful" begins the album and your attention is held throughout. My favorite songs on the album are "Better Man", "Caught Up", "Somewhere", and "Jordan's Song". Again, it is like she stepped inside of me and wrote about situations that I have been through in my life, will go through, and am not talented enough to write about!

So, go grab ALL of Vivian Green's Albums. We have to support true artists who don't rely on leotards and booty popping to sell records.
