	CD Review: India.Arie Voyage to India Motown Record Co., LP - Daily Nexus Online
		Arie's words of wisdom resonate through the gentle harmonies and syncopated rhythms in songs like "Little Things," "God is Real" and, one of my personal favorites, "Talk to Her." There are also tracks for the lovebirds, such as "Good Man," "The One" and "Interested." And the girl can sing.
		Arie's soultastic sophomore release is a natural progression from her debut, Acoustic Soul.
		I must admit, I was a bit skeptical of Arie's staying power after the barrage of neo-soul-phytes that followed in her footsteps in the last couple of years.

		Both India.Arie’s overflowing generosity of spirit and breadth of background are rooted in a supportive and musical family.
		Experimenting at both the demo and production stage, India.Arie emerged with a spare, yet enveloping sound of her own: a balanced, intuitive and highly personal melding of textures and beats chosen from both the old and new.
		Soon, India.Arie co-founded an Atlanta artist’s collective, Groovement/Earthseed, and their independently-released compilation led directly to a call to play Lilith Fair stops in St. Louis and Nashville, to crowds of 10,000.

		Voyage to India as the name implies, "is a musical autobiography of my last couple of years of life and career," she tells Liane Hansen for Weekend Edition Sunday.

		Arie has good reasons for her ability to be blunt -- softly or not.

	India Arie is the New Soul Diva, But Not a Ditto
		Matter of fact, when Arie opens the disc by name-checking her artistic forebears, Gaye, Sam Cooke, and Donny Hathaway are all present and accounted for, but the heads are conspicuously absent.
		In her promo materials, however, Arie places herself squarely in the hiphop tradition, albeit one that she defines differently from the thugs at large.
		Lyrically, Arie is somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Iyanla Vanzant, blending praise of earthly pleasures and homespun wisdom.

		This was Arie's first performance since the holidays and her first as a headliner in New York City.
		When Arie sang "Brown Skin," the white woman on our left sang along, leading us to wonder how her husband felt about her celebrating the idea of brown skin on top of brown skin.

	[QSTAGE] Review: ACOUSTIC SOUL - india.arie
		India.arie's talent will give her a longevity that I hope will give us the joy of going on a long journey with her.
		This music took one and a half years to get onto the CD with india.arie using as many acoustic instruments as she possibly could that would allow her to compete with other music being played on the hip-hop scene.
		This is one of those CD's in which you will appreciate every song and listen to again and again.

		While it was fun to hear her sing a few personal favorites, India.Arie -- who plays skilled acoustic guitar, flute (and many more instruments she just didn’t have space for in a concert setting) -- shined brightest when she settled in to perform her own songs, especially the material from the new album.
		At one point during the show, India.Arie explained how she grew up in the distinctly non-urban Colorado until she was 13, before relocating to the more urban-friendly surroundings of Atlanta.
		Watching India.Arie in concert is an opportunity to witness her fast-track artistic growth in action.

		With the Grammy’s on the loom and with India.Arie having the possibility to win 7 of the coveted gold statues, I thought now would be an appropriate time to take a look at her debut album Acoustic Soul.
		You can picture India.Arie sitting on a porch, that you had to take a dirt road to get to, sitting in a rocking chair with her guitar and just singing her heart out.
		I guess all artists have different interpretations and meanings behind their lyrics and this song was written solely by India.Arie, but the sound changes again, and this one for me, isn’t that good.

	India.Arie gives nod to all her inspirations in confident show
		Several times during the concert, Arie referred to her mission statement, which expressed an intention to "spread love and energy and right human relations through the power of music." She is an artist who truly wants to share the euphoria of music with her audience.
		Clad in a white dress with orange and yellow trimmings, which, unlike most of her performing outfits, was not designed by her mother, Arie opened her 95-minute concert with a strong version of "Headed in the Right Direction." Although both the guitarist and bass player were replacements for her regular musicians, the band was tight.
		David's music was similar to Arie's in terms of melody and chord structure, but had a touch of Bill Withers in his easygoing delivery.

		Arie got her musical toes wet in elementary school, singing in choirs and dabbling with a multitude of instruments in bands.

	NashvilleRage.com: > India.Arie - 10.03.02
		Full of as many affirmations as an Iyanla Vanzant book, India.Arie's sophomore album is just as much a voyage into the heart of the artist as it is intended to be a cathartic sojourn toward inner peace for the listener.
		Produced by India herself and her right-hand man Kedar Massenburg, the album doesn't deviate much from what audiences came to expect with Acoustic Soul: a formula that relies on substantive lyrics and uncomplicated original accompaniment that is spliced with elements of R&B, soul, rock, folk and blues.
		As on her debut, India retains her soul-folk flavor with omnipresent acoustic guitar plucking and earthy vocals.

	Mix: INDIA.ARIE
		Arie's second release, Journey to India, continued that stylistic path with more developed melodies and imagistic lyrical sentiment.
		When it came time to take the show out on the road as a headliner, Arie and her manager, Fernando Gibson, focused on creating a show dynamic that was as intimate as the coffeehouses where she honed her music, while at the same time integrating the impact of her top-notch band.
		The album's title says it all: Arie is an artist who draws inspiration from the spiritual soulfulness of Stevie Wonder, the rootsy acoustic sensuality of Bill Withers and the urbane sophistication of Sade.

	3BlackChicks Review™... INDIA.ARIE IN CONCERT - music (Bams)
		Arie and the gang simply to' it up with these, two of her most popular songs.
		With the voice, guitar, and pen Arie carries, and the strength, courage and wisdom to make it through the rough spots, the sky is the limit for this far from average girl.
		Starting her set with just her guitar and a percussionist to accompany her softer songs, Arie began with this reverent reminder of the many artists who've come before her and are no longer with us.
