"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
Can you feel it, baby?
I can...
Darlin', I was wondering
If I can get a piece of you
The piece you wanna give me, too
What if I ask nicely, baby?
If you knew that I would do it,
Would you do it?
Let me ride inside your favorite car
You can drive and I will take you far
Everybody looks at you
They want their chance
But only you and I can do
This dirty dance
If we slip through the night, when it's right
I can be your all
I can be so..
Naughty, nasty, instigator, trouble-maker, dominator
Gonna get into it,
Get into it
Gonna groove it through it
Baby, are you satisfied?
I'll take you up into a place so high
That you and I will touch the sky
My lips drip my kisses, baby
Your fingers slide electric
(I can handle it)
Let's just slide inside this secret hall
Your body's moving, you have me on the wall
Everybody looks at you
They want their chance
But only you and I can do
This dirty dance
If we slip through the night, when it's right
I can be your all
I can be so..
Naughty, nasty, instigator, trouble-maker, dominator
Gonna get into it,
Get into it
Gonna groove it through it
