India Arie Tour To Start In
November
India.Arie's got a little voyage planned for this fall. The
soulful singer has dates booked for a trek that begins in November
and she's also bringing along several underground artists to open
the shows. Hip-hoppers Slum Village, U.K. duo Floetry, and Canadian
MC/singer K-OS are on tap for the whole of the outing.
The tour was tentatively scheduled to begin in October, but has
since been moved. Dates now stretch through the end of November.
After a 2001 chock-full of shows, India.Arie took this year off from
the road and focused on making an album, pausing only for a few
one-off gigs.
The new record, Voyage To India, catapulted to the top of the
R&B charts when it was released September 29. The album's first
single, "Little Things," is available for a listen at India.Arie's
official Web site.
Despite an impressive seven Grammy nominations - including best new
artist and album of the year for her debut effort, Acoustic Soul
- India.Arie walked away empty handed from the 2002 awards. But she
hasn't let the Grammy disappointment define her career. She
continues to receive critical plaudits and recently was asked to sit
in the judges' corner on the new Shortlist Music Project.
