Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Voyage to India shows that India.Arie still has an exceptionally grounded head on her shoulders, despite the seven Grammy nominations and double platinum sales that greeted her debut album. In fact, her first taste of success seems to have reinforced her old fashioned values. "In the quest for fortune and fame, don't forget about the simple things," she implores over the shimmering groove of "Little Things" before reminding, "I do this for the love of music, not for the glitter and gold." Other key elements to Voyage to India's harmonious philosophy include the power of conversation ("Talk to Her") and self-belief ("Get It Together"), along with the need to take life as it comes ("Slow Down") and savour love ("Complicated Melody"), all of which come with her mother's sound advice and joyously lazy jazz-tinged soul. Admittedly nothing quite compares to Acoustic Soul's highs--the glorious reggae bounce of "Video" or the smouldering shimmy of "Promises"--but its charm and grace remain. And in an age of empty sentiments and artifice, such wisdom and musical honesty are a rare treat indeed. --Dan Gennoe

Watch India Live,

This review is from: Voyage To India (Limited Edition) (Audio CD)
I've been listening to India Irie's music on Jazz FM for a few months now, but having just watched her, and her excellent band perform live on BBC4 I decided that I just had to buy the album.The music is so beautifully interwoven and the lyrics so honest, India Irie deserves all the aclaim she receives. From Brown Skin to Can I Walk With You to Little Things, these songs just make you feel greatful for what you've got and inspired to be all that you can be. Very few songs or artists can hope to have that effect on their listeners. Keep on remembering the little things and the joy they bring...

india arie - voyage to india,
This review is from: Voyage To India (Limited Edition) (Audio CD)
That amazing soulful singer/songwriter is back. Or should that be pure musical genius. Yes guys Miss Arie is back looking and sounding better than ever with 'voyage to india'. The follow up to her multi-platinum selling 7 x grammy nominated 'acoustic soul' album. But is this album as good as the first i hear you say? The answer is yes. Although this is along the same lines as 'acoustic soul' its more upbeat and her voice has grown a lot more as has her songwriting. She's a woman with many talents as she lends her hand at the production side aswell. there a many a great soul songs on here with a hint of rnb. stand out tracks have to be 'little things' and the amazing 'talk to her'. If this is anything to go by. The future is bright. The future is India Arie.

Indian Summer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Voyage To India (Limited Edition) (Audio CD)
Few artists have managed to hit the ground running like India.Arie.Her second album bursts with the self-assurance of someone who is great at what they do. This tremendous album will become a timeless classic. If you've not heard her work, prepare to be delighted.
