Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:India.Arie

Song:Better People

Album:Testimony:Vol. 1, Life & Relationship





India Arie Simpson is the daughter of former NBA player Ralph Simpson. Now you know why she's so tall. He played for the Denver Nuggets and that's where she was born. She now lives in Atlanta. She first surfaced on the 1998 Lilith Fair tour. She agreed to sign with Motown when they agreed to let her produce her own records. Testimony is her most recent and most successful record. Check out this video for the hit I Am Not My Hair. She seems to like to work with some of the same producers repeatedly. She co-wrote Better People with some of her band members and frequent collaborator Shannon Sanders. India Arie is one of the new wave of Neo Soul singers and if she continues to produce great music, she'll be around a long time.
