"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
Do you see what I see
I walked into a crowded room
Felt my lust, your eyes, the boom
I'm wondering what I would say
If I could just get next to you
The "Glamoured" spell I'd put you through
Tell me that you dare me
To do the things that scare me
When I'm next to you
Flow and take it slowly
There's not need to hurry
I'm yours all night
Baby, Open Up the Box
Don't stop, don't leave a drop
Open Up the Box
Don't stop, don't leave a drop
(Can you take me... there)
Please don't stop the music
Baby don't stop the rock
Sexy sexy lady
Sexy Sexy
I know you see what I see
Making your groove so close, so smooth
Baby, I love the way you move
You're teasing me, my body's tight
Go on and do that thing so right
Asking me, "Dance with me all night?"
Tell me that you dare me
To do the things that scare me
When I'm next to you, baby
Flow and take it slowly
There's not need to hurry
I'm yours all night
Baby, Open Up the Box
Don't stop, don't leave a drop
Open Up the Box
Don't stop, don't leave a drop
(Can you take me... there)
Please don't stop the music
Baby don't stop the rock
Sexy Sexy lady
Damn she's so hot
Please don't stop the music
Baby don't stop the rock
Sweaty, Sexy, Crazy
Sexy Sexy
Tell me that you dare me
To do the things that scare me
When I'm next to you, baby
Flow and take it slowly
There's not need to hurry
I'm yours all night
