... 2.) Video" - 4:09 I loved this track from the moment I heard it in 2001. This is a lovely flowing track with a great beat. The track has a great message for fellow women. It's about learning to love yourself unconditionally. A great message as it shows the importance of having confidence in yourself. 3.) Promises" - 4:37 This is a funky track with some soft drums and India's guitar and voice sounding on top form. A track about broken promises, this track works really well and flow...more

...Introduction... I first heard of India Arie when I saw her on Later With Jools Holland when she released this album in 2001. She was born India Arie Simpson on October 3, 1975 in Denver Colorado, her father Ralph Simpson was an NBA Player and her mother Joyce was a former singer herself.

The title of the album sets the secene: Acoustic Soul. It is quite acoustic, but she is spot-on about soul. Labelled as a female Stevie Wonder, she is definetly not what most of you will be hearing on your everyday radio. She is huge in America, nominated for seven Grammys, yet didn't win one(how did that happen).

This is one of those records that takes a very long time to hit you - but when it does, oh the bliss, it is just an amazing moment. India.Arie is quite simply a genius. Lyrically, vocally and spiritually she molds together an album, like none other I have ever heard before, for depth of feeling, right down to the intro and interludes! The first 'lyric proper' we hear on the album is in her single 'Video' - 'sometimes I shave my legs, and sometimes I don't'. This is an amazing way to start the album! It wakes the listener up ready for the intelligent ramblings of India and works amazingly. 'Video' is a catchy soulful number, ... Read the complete review
