The first song that drew me to India Arie was Video, which I think I found from exploring in the Internet... The lyrics that resonated with me back then were,
"... Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be."
This touched my heart because, like most girls moving through their secondary education, any medium to radiate some form of positive energy and encourage positive self-esteem is always welcomed with open arms. And so I began a love affair with India Arie's 'Acoustic Soul' album. Every one of the songs on that album made me feel balanced, relaxed, happy, and inspired. Back then, I remember being drawn to the lyrics of 'Video' and I simply loved the melodies of the rest of the album, dancing around my room and in front of the mirror.
After being spiritually awakened in mid-2009, I found myself coming back to India Arie once again. This time, though, the lyrics make so much more sense to me and I am now drawn to her music on a very different level than I was at secondary school. I feel a connection to India's heart and soul when I listen to her songs. So much so that when a beautiful friend of mine posted a YouTube clip of hers on my Facebook wall for my birthday, that gift was just so special and encouraged me to begin my day with a smile, not only on my face, but in my heart, too... x
Awaken you senses, be inspired, and feel the love and light from within her music...
