India.Arie

Atlanta soul singer, actor and activist India.Arie performed with Israeli singer Idan Raichel at 2010's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, and three years on, Raichel shares production duties on Arie's new album, Songversation. The album is the result of a spiritual awakening of sorts for the singer (following record-company wrangles and a broken engagement), and as such has a kind of Eat, Pray, Love feel to it. And of course, it's Oprah-approved.
