R&B: John Legend & India.Arie (8/10)

By Ryan Whirty on August 5, 2009

John Legend and India.Arie have a lot in common. Both have won Grammys, sold millions of albums, and earned critical and commercial success for their passionate, introspective, compelling form of neo-soul. But both are also socially motivated activists who campaigned for Barack Obama and contribute heavily to efforts aimed at wiping out poverty and AIDS in Africa. Their musical, political, and charitable efforts have rightfully placed both at the forefront of the contemporary R&B world. Plus I saw John Legend live a couple years ago at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, where his blowout version of the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" made me a fan for life.
