Adorably refined American 'neo soulstress' in the subtle but sultry section of 'acoustic soul' (and that is also the title of her outstanding and much praised debut from 2001).
The follow-up to that CD was already titled 'Testimony: vol 1, Love & Relationship', now finally followed by 'Testimony: vol 2, Love & Politics' (out on Universal Republic!)
De Morgen reported of it: '3/4... defined an own niche in contemporary soul... no computer created beats on a bed of synthesizers, but rather acoustic instruments and plenty of room for the human voice ... in that sober, timeless formula it is even more obvious what a good singer India.Arie actually is... soul that makes you good-humoured.'
And India.Arie is finally (back) in the AB! After her 2006 show that couldn't go ahead, this is your chance to experience healthy feel-good vibes under the best circumstances.
For those who also kick on Marvin Gaye, Lauryn Hill, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys... Or maybe yet another, extra argument? Her latest CD is also adorned by that tasty - yeah yea-eah, ooh oooh - 'Chocolate High'!
