India.Arie has transcended the level of normal consciousness and broken through the barrier of adversity.

I know that in my life I have had many broken roads and I have achieved many new levels of wisdom and insight. I have come from a harsh environment and struggled to stay on my feet; though I was knocked down, I stood back up.

India.Arie has been an inspiration for me in so many ways on so many levels; she provides my soul with soulful licks and runs, a smooth, creamy earth mama sound that makes my skin trickle, lyrics that are so mesmerizing that I find myself in an abyss of elevated awareness.

With every single song, she speaks to me and something going on in my life. It's really bizarre how she does that. No, seriously. India has a knack for songs that speak directly on every aspect of my life or at a particular time. It's like she KNOWS that someone out there is going through EXACTLY what she is singing about.

Back to the Middle, This Too Shall Pass, Get it Together, Beautiful, Always In My Head, Chocolate High, The Truth, Interested, The One, Talk To Her, Beautiful Surprise, Growth, Healing and Gratitude are the songs that I feel speak DIRECTLY to me.

A particular lady in my life: Ayanda M. knows what I am talking about… as India has written countless songs that expound upon the nature of a precious, fragile 17 year old girl who is learning how to deal with a relationship as well as conquer her own demons and transition into a Beautiful Flower progressively each day.

Video, Promises, Brown Skin, Strength, Courage, & Wisdom, Ready For Love, Therapy, Chocolate High, He Heals Me, Yellow, Beautiful Flower, Private Party, I Am Not My Hair, Slow Down, The Truth, Beautiful Surprise, Get it Together, Can I Walk With You, The One, Complicated Melody, Gratitude, Healing, and Growth are the tracks that talk to Ayanda DIRECTLY and on our relationship as well.

From her Acoustic Soul to her Voyage, to her Testimony 1 & 2, India.Arie I love you - who you are through your music. It has given me strength, courage, and wisdom, lol.
No matter how many listens I achieve here on this site, it will contest no comparison to the dedication I have for you in my heart.

And Ayanda, I love you so much, you mean the world to me and a bag of Jalanpeño chips ♥ (your dedication).
