<p>B. Cox once again welcomes special guests <strong>D &amp; T</strong> of <strong>The Perfectly Imperfect Couple Podcast</strong> to help him review the<strong> India Arie&#39;s </strong>debut classic album, the incredibly majestic <em>Acoustic Soul</em>. It was an album that projected the best that neo-soul had to offer, combining jazz, blues, hip-hop and folk music to express themes of self-love, black love, women&#39;s empowerment and redemption. It was the start of a splendid career that led the album to 7 Grammy nominations, albeit without a win. </p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Show Notes.</u></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow the Perfectly Imperfect Couple Podcast:</strong></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/PerfectlyImperfectCouple" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/PerfectlyImperfectCouple</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Blessing Omaku: Life In An Album II-India Arie &#34;Acoustic Soul&#34; </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.blessingomakwu.com/blog/2017/5/17/life-in-album-ii-india-aries-acoustic-soul" rel="nofollow">https://www.blessingomakwu.com/blog/2017/5/17/life-in-album-ii-india-aries-acoustic-soul</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
