After a four- year, reflective hiatus, multi Grammy winning, iconic singer-songwriter India.Arie has released her long awaited, highly anticipated fifth studio album titled  SongVersation (Soulbird/ Motown Records).

“My mission is all about sharing a spiritual conversation and message through my music, hence the title SongVersation,” shares Arie –who recently appeared on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday on the OWN network. She adds, “I want to convey meaningful lyrics that can inspire and heal. My prayer is to spread love, healing and joy and touch whoever is meant to be touched by my music.”

Arie’s new album contains her signature, soulful poetic style in her first single; “Cocoa Butter” which is rapidly climbing the UAC charts.  However, it also features the meditative- mantric  “I Am Light” and empowering anthem “Just Do You”; the second single being released from the album.  With 17 tracks total, the deluxe edition features 20 tracks and is available exclusively at Target stores.

A recent Vibe magazine reviewer asserted, “Besides being a calming agent, SongVersation looks for ways a lost soul can evolve into a better friend, sister, lover and, most importantly, a better self. This time around, India.Arie’s figured it out.”

SongVersation is available on Itunes, at Target and with various retailers nationwide. For more information please visit www.soulbird.com. To view the music video for “I Am Light” click here.
