Here is the India.Arie “Chocolate High” video featuring Musiq Soulchild.  See the video, lyrics and photos here.  It’s the lead single from her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics, set for release February 10, 2009 on her Universal Republic imprint Soulbird Music.  Both the music video and the track feature Musiq Soulchild in a visually and musically dazzling collaboration.

As the title implies, the new album is a follow-up of the Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter’s 2006 album, Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Vol. 2 is focused on the universal aspects of love in contrast to the more deeply personal Vol. 1.

“It’s about how people interact together; the politics and agenda-setting that come into play whether you’re talking about men or women, the music industry, the world,” Arie says. “I wrote a little something inside the CD jacket about my mission: to spread love, healing, and peace through the power of words and music.” [...]

“Testimony: Vol. 2″ also reflects her long-held view of being a world music artist rather than solely categorized as urban. While she teams with Musiq Soulchild on the melodic groove “Chocolate High,” she switches gears with the Jamaican roots artist Gramps Morgan on the romantic “Therapy.”

She doesn’t stop there. Roots music guru Keb’ Mo’ works his magic on the Rachelle Ferrell co-write “Better Way,” while the popular Turkish artist Sezen Aksu guests on the compassionate “The Cure.”Additional collaborators on the album include rapper MC Lyte and songwriter/producers Novel and Shannon Sanders.
