#NewMusic: Vivian Green Spreads Love this Holiday Season with New EP

Vivian Green delivers new music in order to “Spread The Love” through holiday cheer.

Green has released her new single, “Spread the Love,” as the lead single from her holiday 5-song EP of the same name. “Spread The Love” was written by Green and produced by Kwame.

“While I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas, I’ve always loved the euphoric melodies and freedoms in the song structure of holiday music,” Green said. “I am a songwriter and that means I essentially should be able to write about anything. When writing ‘Spread The Love,’ I was intentional about including the three cultural holidays of the season because it hasn’t been done enough.”

“Spread The Love” was inspired by the new BET Networks film, “Holiday Hideaway,” available on BET+.

Holiday Hideaway, was written, directed and produced by African-American Women and all songs were written and co-produced by Vivian Green and scored by Kwame’.

“There’s something beautiful about acknowledging different cultures in one space,” Green said. “I truly enjoyed assisting in helping to energize someone else’s story in the film, Holiday Hideaway, and as a bonus, I’m excited to release this EP.”

The film stars, Camilla Winbush (The Bernie Mac Show), Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day, Kill Bill), Ella Joyce (Roc), Reggie C. Hayes (Girlfriends). The film centers around Carly Stewart (Winbush), the queen of holiday celebrations, but her mistletoe misstep sends her running to a Holiday Hideaway that teaches her the importance of family, forgiveness and fighting for love.
