Vivian Green Capitol Records Rooftop Aug 2015

 

We now take a look into the discography of Vivian Green to come up with her best songs. The singer has become one of the most underrated voices in R&B after emerging over two decades ago.

Upon revisiting her albums it’s not hard to see why she deserves more recognition than she’s received through the years. Not only has she given us plenty of timeless hits that we still keep in rotation, but she’s got some outstanding album cuts to go along with them.

Vivian Green has released seven albums to date since stepping into the spotlight following her role as a background singer for Jill Scott. She linked up with producer Kwame for her past three albums which in turn gave her a fresh and infectious new sound.

This list represents what we feel in our opinion are the best songs that Vivian Green has released so far. We’ve also included a lengthy honorable mention section so as to highlight songs that deserved a mention as well.
