  • India Arie.

    This woman is the most beautiful singer in the world. Not concerned with the new trend of asss baring xxxx5 who do nothing but shake their tlts in the camera and act like strippers on stage, she has created a new style of music all her own. She sings from her soul and all of her songs are original and to the point. I love the way her music makes me feel. It's like a natural cleanliness that consumes me every time I play her CD. She gives me so much inspiration and so much strength with every line she sings. These magical words of wisdom and courage are something that we should embrace and encourage. Let's get rid of these Britney wanna-be's. As if it's not bad enough to have one, we have to have a stream of them coming from the record companies EVERY DAY!!!!! I am sick of it.

    I know that when I have a daughter, I am going to look back at her music and take her words of wisdom to raise her.

    Here's one of her songs

    INDIA.ARIE - Slow Down


    So far from where I started out, so far from where I want to be
    Listening for answers in the wind. But can't find a rock to plant my feet.
    Looking for love in all the wrong places.
    Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience.
    I know there's gotta be a better way, in the back of my mind I hear my momma say.


    Chorus:
    Slow down baby you're moving too fast.
    You got your hands in the air with your feet on the gas.
    You're about to wreck your future, running from your past.
    You need to slow down before you go down baby.


    Thinking the faster that I go. The faster (that) I will reach my goal.
    The race is not given to the swift but to the one who endureth.
    I thought that all my obstacles were behind me.
    Walking around like I'm made out of diamond;
    I tripped and fell and it reminded me more over and let my angels guide me.


    Slow down, baby you're moving too fast.
    You got your hands in the air with your feet on the gas.
    You're about to wreck your futures running from your past.
    You need to slow down before you go down baby.


    Sometimes you gotta be still, before you can get ahead.
    Be still, ask the universe for help be real.
    You can't do it all by yourself... Ah, No...No...


    Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still. It takes some time to reach you and they.
    Be still take some time clean your space, be real!
    Chaos Isn't good for your health, Ah. No...No... ...Ahhh.
    Cause' I'm breaking things and losing things. I lost my cell phone again the other day.
    Now, I don't wanna live this way, no... In the back of my mind, I hear my mamma say...


    Slow down, baby you're moving too fast.
    You got your hands in the air with your feet on the gas.
    You're about to wreck your future, running from your past.
    You need to slow down before you go down baby.

    Here's the prettiest love song of all time.

    Ready For Love

    I am ready for love
    Why are you hiding from me
    I’d quickly give my freedom
    To be held in your captivity

    I am ready for love
    All of the joy and the pain
    And all the time that it takes
    Just to stay in your good grace
    Lately I’ve been thinking
    Maybe you’re not ready for me
    Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
    They say watch what you ask for
    Cause you might receive
    But if you ask me tomorrow
    I’ll say the same thing

    I am ready for love
    Would you please lend me your ear?
    I promise I won’t complain
    I just need you to acknowledge I am here

    If you give me half a chance
    I‘ll prove this to you
    I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
    To a man who loves music
    A man who loves art
    Respect’s the spirit world
    And thinks with his heart

    I am ready for love
    If you’ll take me in your hands
    I will learn what you teach
    And do the best that I can

    I am ready for love
    Here with a offering of
    My voice
    My Eyes
    My soul
    My mind

    Tell me what is enough
    To prove I am ready for love

    I am ready…

      This song just speaks for itself.

      INDIA.ARIE - Good Man


      I remember the first day I met you. We were so young.
      You were a blessing there was no guessing you were the one.
      Love was so crazy, we had a baby and said our vows,
      that's when you told me should anything happen I can hear you now. You told me...


      Chorus: If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong.
      If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on.
      Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand.
      Tell me that their daddy was a good man.


      First anniversary... Remember we chose a star.
      And as I stand under it. I can't but help but wonder if you see it, where you are.
      For whatever reason we don't see the seasons, change again.
      Go there with peace of mind. well meet on the other side, cause 'True love doesn't end.


      Ohh baby...

      Chorus: If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong.
      If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on.
      Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand.
      Tell me that their daddy was a good man.


      Two eyes looking up at me, pointing to the picture like where is he.
      Mamma are you okay, what did the paper say to make you cry that way...
      It said your daddy lived for you, and your daddy died for you, and I'll do the same...


      Now baby...

      Chorus: If the sun comes up and I'm not home, be strong.
      If I'm not beside you, do your best to carry on.
      Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand.
      Tell me that their daddy was a good man.

        Yeah, but singing about going out without shaving her legs ain't cool though.

          LOL Hogg jan you have to understand the deeper meaning behind what she's talking about. Just like you don't feel like shaving your facial hair one day, that's how we feel about our legs. She never said that we go out like that. If I'm wearing pants, WHO THE HELL CARES?


          Unless you're into the Britney Spears wh0res that always "seem" to be shaved...YEA RIGHT!!!!! lol


          She's just being real.

            hahaha Hogg. Listen to what Violette said. :-)

            I don't remember for sure but was she the one who was nominated for a lot of Grammys in one night, but didn't win one? That really sucked.
            I see...

              India Arie is pretty cool. I met her in person on one of her music video shoots, and the way she carried herself as a person was totally cool.

              I'm surprised she hasn't released any other albums though.
