    December 19, 2022 – India Shawn has the special sauce, that certain something extra which separates good from great artists.  Her particular blend of old and new R&B, spiced with hip hop, and delivered with her supple, rich and elastic vocals, pulls you in immediately.  Hers is the complete package.

    India started her music career 10 years ago as a songwriter for Chris Brown, Keri Hilson and others, and until recently issued only occasional, stand-alone singles as a solo artist.  But in July she released her first full-length album, Before We Go (Deeper), which is easily one of the best R&B albums of the year.  We feature here her track “Caught in the Middle,” a head-nodding tale of a complicated relationship that is anchored by serrated electric guitar lines and India’s authentic, compelling vocals.  Enjoy.
