India.Arie is a singer to take into consideration. So much became clear when the American joined the neo soul movement by way of the famous Motown label. She made an impression with her warm, melodious voice and her personal lyrics that shed light on her own private life, but also on social issues. Moreover the Denver born singer, that accompanies herself on the guitar, is very good-looking. Her debut CD Acoustic Soul was considered the best soul album of '01 and it was nominated for seven Grammies. Also the succeeding record Voyage to India, featuring the single Can I Walk With You was successful. This time she grabbed two Grammy Awards. On her recent album Testimony: Volume 1, Life & Relationship, India.Arie, who sings in the tradition of Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke and Donny Hathaway, is possibly even more personal and poetic. Music magazine OOR says: "A record that grows on you and that you cannot just put aside."
