Release Notes:

& 8220;

Theres nothing like taking on the big issues, and thats exactly what India.Arie

does on her powerful third album Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship. The

title alone is an unmistakable signal that in the more than three years since

her last Grammy winning album, Voyage to India appeared, India has grown even

more ambitious. That should hardly be a surprise. After all, her 2001 debut

album, Acoustic Soul, which earned her seven Grammy nominations and sold more

than two million copies, announced that an artist who is unafraid to speak her

mind had entered the music scene.

India continues to make good on that promise. Testimony explores relationships

with the honesty, depth and vulnerability that she has made her hallmark.

Floating on hypnotic rhythms and delicate melodies, the album travels a journey

from heartbreak to acceptance to transcendence, and communicates all the

personal wisdom gathered along the way. The title of the albums centerpiece sums

it up: This is IndiaSong, the latest chapter of what she intends to be her

great, big body of work.

I couldnt help but write about all the lessons I was learning about what

relationships are, India says about the albums genesis. She had come through a

painful breakup and realized that survival was merely the first step on her path

of independence. I wanted to make sure that I was telling my truth, that I could

stand behind it, she continues. I saw Free from 106 and Park, and I told her

about the album when I was almost done with it. She said, People dont need you

to say something thats happy. They look at you and say, Whats India going to

tell us next about where shes at? That was soothing.

These songs, then, are smoky, soulful bulletins from the front, new sources of

inspiration for Indias millions of fans. The first half of Testimony finds India

mapping an internal landscape of loss. Its crazy how much I miss/A simple good

morning kiss, she sings quietly on Good Mourning, and the unaffected directness

of that lyric eloquently conveys the hurt in her heart. A bold, beautiful cover

of Don Henleys The Heart of the Matter establishes what might ultimately be

Testimonys most profound theme: forgiveness. If you keep carrying that

anger/Itll eat you up inside, she sings. Its a gripping performance, and she

means it. Thats exactly how I felt, India says of her vocal on the song. Your

voice is wherever you are, and the voice you hear on that track is telling a

story along with the lyrics. I was left there.

On the lovely Wings of Forgiveness, India defines that essential theme in her

own generous terms: Youre only human/Lets break free of this gravity of

judgment/And fly high on the wings of forgiveness. Akon joins India on I Am Not

My Hair, a song that returns her to the issue that first brought her national

attention with the hit Video: those women should not be defined by their looks.

As a Black American woman, a lot of your integrity is dictated by how you wear

your hair, she explains. The concept for the song was sparked when I decided to

cut my locks, and all the different attitudes people had about it. This is my

hair and its my life. Ill choose how I express myself.

That desire to live free of expectations also sits at the heart of I Choose, a

song whose buoyant funk gets lifted by Bonnie Raitts guest turn on guitar. When

I see women like her, Im inspired, because I see that you can be strong and

feminine, India says of Raitt. That song is saying, I choose what kind of woman

I want to be, and shes one of those women who chooses for herself. In an even

more striking collaboration, Gary Lenox of Rascal Flatts harmonizes with India

on the wistful Summer. I love country music, she says. If someone else were to

sing some of my songs, they would be country songs, with their story lines and

clever wordplay. Plus, I just love great singers, and Gary is a great singer.

Asked what she would like listeners to take away from Testimony: Vol. 1, Life &

Relationship (she is already gathering songs for Vol. 2), India sighs, thinks

for a moment, and then says, I always pray that God will allow my music to

touch whoever it's for in the way that they need. I always pray for that.

But, on my own human level, she continues, when I was growing up, I remember

very few songs that talked about what relationships were really like. So, for

people who are still growing and learning, I hope this album will be a window

into what it really means to love somebody - the triumph and the pain, and how

it all comes together. And for people who have had their hearts broken, I hope

these songs will speak to them with the laser-point accuracy that is comforting

about music, whenever you find it.

Sup.Info.In.French :

C'est le troisième album de cette guitariste d'Atlanta, très attendu des amateurs de néo-soul. La miss s'est imposée en 2000 avec un premier album, Acoustic Soul, antithèse du R & B à paillettes. Dans son tube Video, elle clamait n'avoir rien d'une top model, ni d'une bimbo. Chez cette fille de basketteur, végétarienne stricte, tout est 100 % naturel. Quand ses collègues se prennent la tête sur leurs faux cheveux, elle rase sa tête. Son troisième CD prend la même direction que Voyage to India, enfilade de ballades sympathiques, rehaussée de moments magiques comme Better People ou Private Party . S'accompagnant de guitare et percussions, elle signe un des meilleurs morceaux. A noter, le duo avec Akon, où les deux chanteurs demandent à ce qu'on ne juge pas les Afro-Américains sur leur coiffure (une obsession, les cheveux, aux Etats-Unis). Malgré tout, il manque un petit grain de folie.
