Vivian Green’s first album in three years, Love Absolute, proves that she hasn’t lost her knack for producing quality R&B.
The follow-up to 2017’s VGVI, and the first full-length record released through SRG/ILS in partnership with Make Noise Recordings, is a basic-to-basics effort for the R&B veteran, who was delighted to have created many of the 13 songs at the piano.
“I went back to the genesis and purity of my craft,” Green said in a press release. “While there are tracks on previous albums that came about this way, I never intentionally and insistently made half of an album from scratch.”
She continued, “I’ve listened to Love Absolute many times and I must say that it’s wonderfully versatile and beautifully cohesive. It’s gentle, tough, regretful, sexy, honest, loving and gives fans a look into my life. It also conveys self-love; love of my people; love of jazz; love of my privacy; and love of love. I haven’t made an album this honest in some years.”
Early singles for the album included the soaring lead “You Send Me,” the tender “Where You Are,” and the Ghostface Killah-assisted “Light Up.”
