Friday Night Throwback: India.Arie - "Brown Skin"

4-time Grammy winner India.Arie, who just celebrated her 40th birthday on Oct. 3, scored a modest hit with the second single from her debut album Acoustic Soul, "Brown Skin". The single, which dropped in the Fall of 2001, was written by Arie, Mark Batson and Shannon Sanders with a theme that centered around India's love for chocolate melanin. Produced by Batson and Carlos "6 July" Broady, while the single failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, "Brown Skin" would be India's highest charting single in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 29.
