India. Arie New Album

India . Arie Testimony Vol. 2 Love & Politics...

I've waited and waited since the last album for this album to drop and OMG it was so worth the wait. There is just something so amazing about musicians who make just honest music. Listening becomes meditation. It is so far above all of the music we hear on a daily basis, the honesty and rawness in her voice causes you to actually close you eyes and listen closely to what it is that she is saying. Her message is always conveyed. Its ridiculous how little recognition artists of her caliber recieve, it is simply amazing the pieces that we hear everywhere we go without ever happening upon real music such as this. So much music to dance to with no educational, political, or artistic value, which is said not to knock the "hustle" of the musicians who make dance groves, but to promote the powerful songs that offer actual words of wisdom and advice for those of us who get stuck sometimes and need a little help (plus i've been known to shake a tail feather or two to a few of ms. arie's tunes). If you have not experienced her amazing musical talent please do support her it's worth your time and money... it's so much more than music.

Feel

This morning, I woke up and had something on my mind, so I wrote it down... consider this:


"Daily you see those with eyes permanently stained with tears but look past them because if you were to stare into them long enough, you would find the reflection of a memory you srtive hard not to show in your own eyes. We are all imprisoned emotionally, jailed in faux happiness, dying from the inside out. Break free, feel."
