I'm passionate about the empowerment and healing of girls and women. Where I do the most work in that regard is in my songwriting.
India.ArieWhat is socially irresponsible, once again, is just all my opinion. But there are things that I don't think are cool.
India.ArieI do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]." It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more since I did Acoustic Soul, I'm sure that different sounds will come into place, because I have been exposed to it and I like it. But it's not so much of a conscience effort. It's mind and spirited. You know, we're humans.
