Her music has a positive message, a purpose and her songs elevate the mind.I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I’ve been listening to SO much India Arie lately. In sum, SongVersation is a priceless CD in which Arie has given the gift of music to humanity through spiritually and culturally enriching songs.
