Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship

Release Date: 
06/27/2006
Artist: 
India.Arie
Star Rating: 
★★★
There’s obviously something very Oprah about India.Arie albums: the earnestness, the New Agey philosophizing, the whole you-go-girl-ness of it all. But damn if they aren’t pretty. Testimony hardly lays off the gooey romanticism that has made Arie the balladeer of choice for the Waiting to Exhale set, but between the nimble guitar lines, supple percussion, occasional bursts of brass, and Arie’s alluring voice, her spell is tough to resist.
