Info
Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics is the fourth studio album by American singer , released February 10, 2009 on Universal Republic Records. The album debuted as Hot Shot on the Billboard 200 in the week of February 28, 2009 at number three, selling in its first week around 76,000 copies, almost half less than her previous album in 2006. The next week it fell to number 7, selling another 32,000 copies. Speaking about the album to writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul in April 2009, India stated. Album 2009 16 Songs. Despite the rather serious title, GRAMMY-winning 's follow-up to Testimony Vol. 1 is just as soothing, with beachfront beats, gently plucked acoustic guitars, sympathetic strings, and weightless pianos alluding to a sweeter life than the one she often observes. Even a track such as Ghetto, versed in life's travesties, still manages to keep its chin up with a benevolent groove that proves this young R&B star always puts the music first.
