India: Then Sacred Space, I added this song to the Crazy video because it's my favorite one on the album. Then we had Crazy, which if you listen to the lyrics of the song, it's really about how it really feels to be in a relationship like the every day, every day. It's not exactly linear because I had different leading men and stuff, but the arc. Then Steady Love, they move in together and you see them fight and makeup and work on their relationship and get engaged and stuff. In That Magic, they meet and that's when everything's all sparkly and fresh and sparks and everything. We had the idea of just telling the story of a relationship arc.

There was That Magic, Steady Love, Crazy and Sacred Space. India: I have a album that I've put out last February called, Worthy and the first single from that album was called, That Magic. What turns a simple object into a meangingful heirloom? How can we tap into the power of ritual to create transcendent art? Check out India.Arie's new music video, shot right here at Commune: And the word worthy is imbued in all of it.India.Arie is a prolific singer-songwriter and the winner of 4 Grammy awards, but today on the show we talk about a different dimension of her life that has always been quietly present - her spirituality. That’s where I’ve been in my life these last few years. Tom Joyner said this album is a perfect blend of message songs and love songs. Even the love songs are about how you want to be treated, how you want to treat other people. Then all the other songs started to take shape, being about respect. “At that point, I knew what I wanted to say. The album’s title track is one of the collaborations between Arie and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Joel Cross. It made me double-down on wanting to call this project Worthy and explore why she asked that question.” “I realized that I didn’t feel unworthy inside but I could see how I could be giving off that energy to others. “When I did the interview with Oprah, she asked me how long unworthiness had been my calling card,” Arie continued. For a while, it was resilient then authentic. It’s so potent and encompasses so much deserving of regard and respect. “The title of the album was Worthy for a couple of years before I had any songs,” she revealed.
