Let's say she did (I don't know), what that got to do with the thread topic :dwillhuh:

She came out during the pro black neo soul era and had a kid from a white dude and then switched her style and look on her 2nd release trying to go pop and never recovered. Simple.

She put out a dope ass album called Vivid, my boy Kwame produced the whole thing

Some gems to peep: Work, get Right back to my baby, I'm not broken, leave it all behind

i was thinkin' bout this tonight when "emotional rollercoaster" came on the radio
this was a great song but as soon as the song came out, it seemed like her career was all but over for the most part
how come vivian ain't really get a fair shot?

- she can sing, pretty, and had a well written/produced song. so why she ain't never become a household name?

this song still holds up well too. shyt, i'd say it's a underrated classic :whew:



I remember this song from when I was a child. I still know all of the words. I love this song. Never knew who sang it though.

naw, it should have. you gotta remember, when that song came out the neo soul wave was still alive and kickin'

artists like jill scott (who vivian use to sing backup for), floetry, musiq, badu, india arie etc etc were all doin' their thing

it just seem like vivian got lost in the shuffle and never really found her feet on solid ground

The label made an assessment. Once they saw there wasn’t enough to people like you to justify pushing her project it went how it went

maybe because she didn't show 100% of her yams all the time and acted like a respectable black woman
