Acoustic soul artist India.Arie is returning with her fourth album, Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics, and the lead single from it, “Chocolate High”, features R&B crooner and good friend Musiq.

I’m definitely feeling this one, and I can’t wait to check out Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics, which is scheduled for release on February 10, 2009.

    I love India! i wanna marry her. i like this song too; her lyrics are always deep. I dont know about her singing about politics though in the new album…unless it’s about hope, god, progress and what not.

  8. LADY ARCHITECT

    REAL MUSIC!!!! I’M DEFINITELY FEELING THIS JUST SOOTHING.

    “Strength, Courage & Wisdom”
    “Get it Together”
    “Wings of Forgiveness”

    …..I could go on and on!

  10. JUJU

    IM GLAD INDIA STAYS TRUE TO HERSELF AND NOT CHANGE BECAUSE OF WHATS POPULAR OR WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING! ITS RARE TO FIND ARTIST LIKE THAT…

  11. cutiepienyc

    Oh yeah this is hot I will be buying this one

  12. SMH

    I wish artists like this girl and erykah badu, gnarls, macy and the others be so much more successful, this is real talent, not talentless studio artists, ppl who use looks and sexiness only, yall know them I wont say no names; its such a shame that music nowadays is what it is; excepting a few of them deserving their success because of their hard works, the others are jokes to me! Music of the past is so much better, we, new generation have all the technology and material they didnt have, but lack of recognization for real talent & originality SMH

  13. I..Am Sasha Fierce...PLATINUM

  22. vgeezy

    I love India’s music, style, and serenity she is a excellent role model for young black girls. They don’t have to comprise their dignity and their morals to make good music. I will def buy this album.

  28. Maggi Brown

    I’m glad to hear new music from India, can’t wait for the new album. I think alot of people slept on the last album she but out.
    Hopefully people won’t sleep on the new album Musiq Soulchild has out, it’s hands down his best work yet!
    Here a beautiful video using Musiq next single “So beautiful” It’s a tribute to Barack & Michelle Obama

  29. urbluesaintlikemin

    I wonder if she wrote anything about Obama on this cd since it’s called “Love and Politics.”

  30. ROYALTY

  34. SugarhoneyIcedtea

    OMG OMG OMG OMG! I must get it! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE India Arie
    she is the business! I’m too happy for words! After Brandy’s comeback now it’s India how I wish Amel Larrieux and Heather Headley could do the same move….TRUE TALENTED ARTIST ARE WANTED….. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. leelee

    India Arie, Jill Scott, Musiq, Anthony Hamilton, Alicia Keys, and Angie Stone make music for the soul. I actually believe their music has healing power and as long as they continue to make music like this I will continue to support them.

  45. [bri]

    i love india.arie and i love musiqsoulchild

    perfect collaboration :)

  46. dont worry bout it

    okay…finally! someone with depth and soul. don’t get me wrong…there are many talented artist out now…. but 75 percent of the ones who are at the forefront of the industry are WASHED and WATERD down soooo much we can’t even tell, either trying there hardest to immulate another artist, or over exposing themselves to the point where its soo obvious there career has nothing to do with the music.. (ie beyonce..sry girl, but i can tell ur not having fun anymore). i’m looking forward to this. i know india won’t let me down :)

  47. mellowyel

    LOVE India. The song’s great, as always – can’t wait for her new album

  48. marcuzb

    her hair grew back quick…
    can wait for this album

  49. ------- Jazzo--------

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT………

  50. TN2311

    Beautiful Song! Love It!

  51. N.O. Finest

    I am felling this song, and NOT just because I am a Chocolate-colored sista…………..
    but it DOES help LMAO
    I am so feeling this tribute to my beautiful skin tone and the collabo’ is sweet and irresistable….., subtle and not forceful (unlike Musiq and MJB’s collabo on “If you leave”- I luv the concept of the song and words, but it’s almost like a screamfest)

  52. morganstate

    I LOVE HER.
    SHE IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED ARTIST.
    CAN’T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!

  53. Lauren G

    OMG HER VOICE IS HEAVENLY…SO SMOOTH..LOVE HER MUSIC!!!!!! TOTALLY WORTH BUYING..

    positive messages
    real music
    wonderful voice

    all the ingredients for a great album! To be honest, it’s good to hear a real album, not the over processed, over- done stuff, with the over-processed artist..this is real feel good music.

  54. Focused1

    This is nice and I like the mellow vibe of the song.

  55. butterscotch

    These two complement each other so well, and it shows through song
    I think they were any item at one time. Anyway the Steve Harvey morning show aired this song in early January of this year (105.3 WDAS FM PHILLY) I was
    feeling it first listen. It is a singalong happy song.
