JohnRApr 27, 2009As much as I like India's music, this is by far her weakest effort so far. The lyrics are somewhat over the top, and the music just isn't up to par with what she produced before. Some of the songs are just... dull... However, there are also good moments, and India's honesty is as always to be admired.

LorraineAug 20, 2006Simply one of the best cds of the year. She sings with conviction which we don't find in many artist today. The music is full of life which transcends through all bounderies. This is what we need more of today in music!

AunSAug 10, 2006India's best album yet! There's more variety musically and lyrically, with hope and optimism fully intact. I don't see how the album can be perceived as forced regarding its positive messages, unless it is judged by someone who feels down most of the time. My Favourites: Heart of the matter, good mourning, and there's hope. God bless you India!

LynneSJun 30, 2006Beautiful and healing. I have always loved "Heart of the Matter", but now, post my own break-up, and in a woman's voice, it resonates. Beautiful album.

SeanHJun 30, 2006While we all need to be lifted up at times, I couldn't help feeling a bit overwhelmed...except "Summer" and "I am Not My Hair". The album contains daily affirmations put to melodic guitar rhythms...nice, but I'd imagine it would be hard to market.
