About
On <i>Acoustic Soul</i>’s anchor tune, “Video,” India.Arie joyfully sings, “I’m not the average girl from your video” over a head-nodding groove; it’s a line that perfectly encapsulates her ethos and establishes the singer/songwriter as a confident counterpoint to the stereotypes of commercial R&B. But that theme reverberates throughout her debut’s laidback delivery, jazzy harmonies, and arrangements that evoke Carole King and Stevie Wonder. As <i>Acoustic Soul</i> makes clear, Arie is many things—prodigiously talented, vocally gifted, optimistic—but she’s definitely not average.
