I was SO PSYCHED when I heard about India.Arie!!!
In a time when o much of black music seems to be saying "I have a blue BMW and I can induce your girlfriend to have oral sex, which of course makes her a worthless bitch, just like I hope all the young girls listening to this music grow up to be too" it is so nice to have someone telling a story and telling it so beautifully.
