India.Arie finally released her much anticipated fourth album, Testimony, Vol. 2: Love & Politics.
To my delight (but not to my surprise) it is a breath of fresh air.
India.Arie does not disappoint. Her last album was all about healing a broken heart. Now here is she is, fully healed and recovered. Her new album is incredible. After almost three years of silence, she's back with her best album so far. Thank you India.Arie, this is just the album I need. It's full of inspiration and hope.
Life is a journey, not a destination
There are no mistakes, just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets, cause all we have is now
Wake up in the morning and get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful far
Early in the morning, start of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
Open my eyes and open my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Here she is talking about her new album (I get goosebumps listening to her speak):

She's coming to the Paramount on April 4th. And I have the best seats in the house. Front row. I will cry and rejoice. But most importantly, I will listen and learn.
