"Beauty In the Breakdown" is a collection of stories, impeccably set to song, chronicling the singer-songwriter's journey of the many human layers of a relationship from passion, love and the broken end.
Once upon a time, Jean met "L" on a hot, steamy night. Their connection was only slightly more instant than the sex, and the romance was a whirlwind of passion, ghosts and broken mirrors.
Four years, many tears and masquerades of deceit later, Jean rises out of her own heartbreak to tell her honest story of a love that should never have been, a person that never was, and how it brought her to her own defining moment of "Beauty in the Breakdown".

THE MUSIC
With a thunderous voice, poetically explosive lyrics and a sizzling, virtuoso band, "Beauty in the Breakdown" is set on fire with an incendiary blend of modern, danceable Pop-Funk with rocked-out Urban flare.
Genre-defiant influences of Prince & the Revolution's "Purple Rain", with heartfelt dysfunction of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors", sealed with the cool-factor of Justin Timbelake's "FutureSexLoveSound" Jean Morisson has sophistically married different styles that melt together, brilliantly.
Special guests include Nile Rodgers (Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Raymond Angry (The Roots, Joss Stone, D'Angelo) and more.

lyrics
Hey! You!
So What!?
Ooh, you're walking away now, baby
Walking away like you do
D-D-Dangerous game that you're playing, honey
Kn-Kn-Knowing I can walk away too
Gentle Jezebel, so from hell
Wishing on a wishing well
Whatcha think I'm gonna do?
Fo-fo-fo-fo-follow you?
Do you think you're so much more
Than I've ever had before?
Let me break the news, it's true
I can do better than you
Hey! You!
What are you thinkin'?
Textin' for a hookup while you're drivin' and drinkin'
So What?!
It doesn't matter
"Glamoured" is no longer true
I can do better than...
You, you're lying your way out baby
Lying the way that you do
D-D-Dangerous game that you're playing, honey
Kn-Kn-Knowing I can lie to you, too
Gentle Jezebel, so from hell
Wicked witch, you cast a spell
Whatcha think I'm gonna do?
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fall for you?
Do you think you're so much more
Cause we laid down twice before?
Let me break the news, it's true
I can do better than you
Hey! You!
What are you thinkin'?
Textin' for a hookup while you're drivin' and drinkin'
So What?!
It doesn't matter
"Glamoured" is no longer true
I can do better than you
Now you know I miss you baby
Yes, I miss you more than ever
Now, you know that's just not really true
I would rather die than be with you
So I took back my key
And I locked you out
FOREVER
Hey! You!
What are you thinkin'?
Textin' for a hookup while you're drivin' and drinkin'
So What?!
It doesn't matter
"Glamoured" is no longer true
I can do better than... you
