[youtube id=”Deald3mR6d4″] Vivian Green’s VGVI album comes after a two-year break and her last collection Vivid. Today she shares the video for “Vibes” which is directed by famous photographer and director Derek Blanks and has an appearance from her longtime producer and hip-hop veteran Kwamé. Green is an aspiring singer working at her father’s restaurant and dealing with the struggle of balancing her art with her day job. In the end, she’s able to bring both worlds together and starts a party in the restaurant.

The video finds Green performing onstage at an outdoor festival and having a flirtation with a new man. Green previously worked with producer and former rapper Kwamé on her Vivid album two years ago and they started recording together again in January of this year.  She revealed her idea behind the album:

“I wanted to do something brighter and more upbeat. If a song was sad, it needed to have a certain attitude, energy, and life to it. I’ve done sad songs. I love them, of course. However, I wanted to evolve.”

Kwamé also appears in the video as a DJ wearing his trademarked polka dots that Biggie Smalls made famous on “Unbelievable.” VGVI can be pre-ordered before its actual release. Vivian Green is also appearing in Je’Caryous Johnson’s stage production of Two Can Play That Game right now.

Kwamé exclusively produced the album that shows Green picking up the tempo and singing dancefloor-oriented songs. The video is Green and her dancers moving in front of the camera and making multiple costume changes.
