India.Arie Artist Snapshot:

With the runaway success of her 2001 debut ACOUSTIC SOUL, India Arie became one of the most important figures in contemporary R&B. Though she's often lumped in with the neo-soul movement, she comes more from a '70s singer-songwriter orientation, influenced by James Taylor and Bill Withers as much as she is by Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. Her stripped-down production and straight-ahead songs, built around her own acoustic guitar, eschew cookie-cutter R&B production for a refreshing simplicity.

Product Notes

India Arie''s Acoustic Soul is just as advertised: grooving soul music with an acoustic bent. Arie herself plays guitar, supplemented by strings (instead of synthesizers) and drums (instead of drum machines). The first single, "Video," is a calm, confident ode to self-love, comparing the dreadlocked, petite Arie to the average girl in a video. Arie is indeed anything but average: her debut marks the auspicious return of the black female singer-songwriter, in the vein of Me''Shell Ndegeocello, Tracy Chapman, and Dionne Farris. If you like their music, with thoughtful lyrics and layers of instrumentation, you''ll love this album. "Video" is fabulous, but other high points include "Ready for Love," a lament that smolders before slowly building to a crescendo, with tinkling piano, guitar, and cello swelling beneath the vocal. "Strength, Courage, and Wisdom" is an optimistic anthem that''ll have you clapping your hands and swaying from side to side, and the best track on the album, "Simple," is a straightforward love song with a pulsating beat. Acoustic Soul may not be full of radio-friendly tracks, but every track is strong, and the disc improves each time you press play. --Courtney Kemp
