(June 4, 2026) It’s been said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. We often apply this phrase to how we view others, but it also applies to how we view ourselves. Sadly, many individuals don’t see themselves as beautiful because of stereotypes, insecurities, or criticism.
Johnny Britt hopes to silence those negative factors with the sound of music in his new song, “You Are Beautiful.” This uplifting track is a touching addition to Johnny’s long-standing career as an internationally recognized trumpeter, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, who was also The Temptations’ youngest-ever musical director.
Johnny explains that “You Are Beautiful” is a celebration of someone who changed his life forever – his daughter, Mariah. He says he wrote the song “because of her… and because of all the people in our lives who need to be reminded of who they are.” He added: “I want people everywhere to tell someone they matter.” According to Johnny’s website, this includes “mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends, mentors, partners, survivors, caregivers, and everyday heroes whose presence makes the world better.”
So, this new tune is more than a song but a movement, and Johnny is encouraging his listeners across the globe to join his #YouAreBeautiful movement by recognizing someone beautiful in their life via a post on social media or on his website. This is because, to him, “beauty is more than appearance; it’s how someone makes others feel.”
“You Are Beautiful” is available in four distinct versions: Smooth Jazz, Smooth R&B, Dance Mix, and R&B Mix. We present to you the Smooth R&B version below. Let it be a reminder that you are beautiful and to cherish the beautiful people in your life.
