Testimony Vol 2: Love And Politics: India Arie

For her fourth album, it would appear that all is well with India Arie: it’s a beautifully crafted celebration of love, happiness and joy. Being the mistress of her own destiny by producing it herself has evidently been a very positive thing; after a long three years in the making, her voice has lost none of its warmth and the songs (including six collaborations) bear her unmistakable charm. Strictly speaking an R&B record, I would have to say that there is more of a world sound filtering through a lot of songs. All in all, a very satisfying offering and well worth seeking out.
