    "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

You don't hear a word I say
Are you gonna lie to me?
Create another mystery?
I cannot hear a word you say
You're like someone I never knew
I would've never lied to you

Can you look at me again?
Has it become so much that you are not my friend?
Can you see the you in me?
Or is it so far that it could never ever be...
Never be?

'Cuz every time you come around
My world is spinning upside down
I cannot sleep at night and think
and sleep at night tonight
and sleep at night and dream
What else can I do?
It's because of you

Please don't say the words you say
You twist my stomach inside out
Fill my head with endless doubt
Then you look the other way
It's like my heart's an empty space
Filled without amazing grace

Can't you look at me again?
Is your heart so lost that it will never mend?
When you say these words you do
Like there's a ghost inside this room
I'm losing... losing u...
Losing you...

'Cuz every time you come around
My world is spinning upside down
I cannot sleep at night and think
and sleep at night tonight
and sleep at night and dream
What else can I do?

Baby, baby, baby please
I've gotten down on my knees
Begging and pleading so hard that I'm bleeding inside

'Cuz every time you come around
My world is spinning, spinning upside down
I can't sleep at night and think
and sleep at night tonight
and sleep at night and dream
What else can I do?

Because of you...

It's because of you...
