To lighten her skin permanently would be true career suicide because who gon check for her then? In fact, India’s entire fan base are women who are probably on Team Natural and love to talk about how they dig the skin they’re in. Yes, she does look much lighter on the cover than we’re used to but I never thought she bleached her skin. This is the same woman whose whole career has been based on preaching the good word about being proud of her brown skin. The granola India Arie we’re all used to.

I’m a jerk with a heart like that. Yes, she sings music that makes me think of slavery sometimes but I like her.Īnyway, for the past couple of weeks, people have been all up in arms about India Arie and it’s because of her new single “Cocoa Butter.” Folks saw the cover of the single and they’re startled by the different India we’re all seeing. SO MANY! But y’all know I love overly sappy and uplifting music. I own her first 3 CDs and I couldn’t tell you a favorite song if you begged me.
