Review

Entertainment Weekly (3/30/01, p.68) - "...Her balmy soul stylings and positive lyrics illuminate the entire album...and may stir you to put a flower in your hair..." - Rating: A
Q (6/01, p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Arie's warm, folky sound and credible songwriting...may be just enough to give her a niche [amongst] the headscarf-wearing crooning in the vein of Lauryn Hill, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu [and] Jill Scott ..."
Mixmag (6/01, p.179) - 4 out of 5 - "...Pulls up next to the organic, pure aesthetics espoused by the likes of Jill Scott and Erykah Badu....A compelling set..."
Muzik (5/01, p.96) - 5 out of 5 - "...Faultless. Absolutely. 100% faultless...this is the future of soul music..."
Mojo (Publisher) (6/01, p.114) - "...A classy start, Arie's Tracy Chapman-like acoustic guitar underpinning the grooves with real finesse..."

India Arie was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. ACOUSTIC SOUL was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and for Best R&B Album. "Video" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, for Song Of The Year, for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and for Best R&B Song.

Cut from the same rootsy R&B cloth as Erykah Badhu, Atlanta-born India Arie's full-length debut after her first public emergence on Spike Lee's BAMBOOZLED soundtrack is a down-home affair, where acoustic guitars, live drums, and stand-up bass share space with more contemporary production devices. Arie's voice has an insinuating, seductive undertone that works its way into the listener's subconscious.

Songs such as "Video" are both catchy and centered on a subtly feminist theme, proving that Arie is up to having her cake and eating it, too, while the unimpeachably sexy "Brown Skin" is quintessential bedroom mood music. Arie's debut promises much, and delivers even more.
