India.Arie Part 3 – on NPR

So there is a neat follow to my previous two posts on this – India.Arie has done a live session on NPR's Weekend Edition, on International Women's day. And that interview and songs brought a lot together. 

First off, the language from host and guest was entirely public radio. And it was effective – enhanced yes by the voices of both people (I'm not a fan of "radio voices", but in a soul singer I guess it's a more than acceptable attribute) – listen to Ghetto. The lyrics could be from a radio report, a really good US public radio report. 

So there is the influence and the shared language, as much as the shared aspirations. Good job all round.
