Spread the Love, Vivian Green (SoNo)

Vivian's been around for a couple of decades, having written songs for Boys II Men and also worked with Jill Scott. For 2022 the Philly native dropped an EP of four original songs including the title song, a combined ode to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Also included is "Around the Tree (Missing You)," about a celebration without a special person; "Everybody's Gathered," about the holiday table; and "No Holiday," another upbeat number about togetherness. She also does a diva turn on "O Holy Night," though a folky-jazzy take rather than a midnight mass showstopper. Solid R'nB singing and good originals.
