Neo-soul singer India. Arie has returned from her album Worthy with another tender, harmonizing love song. She released the record earlier this year, the day after Valentine’s Day, and now she’s delivering a visual to her single “Steady Love.” The R&B singer offers a music video showing the potential stages of a relationship as a couple cook together, spending time with each other, struggling to get pregnant, struggling and breaking up just to make up, and finally getting involved.
No other “Get Like Me” rapper and producer David Banner is playing the romantic role of India. Arie’s leading man. As India. Arie sings about all the reasons why she loves her man, the artists play the parts of two people in love. She caught up with Billboard earlier this year to discuss the differences between the singer she was years ago and the artist she is now. “I Am Not My Hair’s India was looking for ways to be empowered and free,” she said. “She knew she had it inside her but it was blocked by a lot of things. Today’s India has achieved freedom and empowerment; perhaps earned is the right word. I also earned self-respect. I like who I am, even in difficult times, and in my music it comes across.
