OK, I'm not going to lie. I heard this song on the Sex and the City movie trailer. I had no clue who sang it, but it was an amazing song that fit the trailer and the movie very well. It was only when I read the comments under the video did I realize it was India.Arie.
I am certainly not her biggest fan, but I am aware of her music. I liked the song she put out in the beginning of her career, "Video". Other than that, I really didn't care for her songs too much.
"The Heart of the Matter" is probably the best song she has put out, at least for me anyway. The song is perfect for a trip home from school or work after a very stressful day (boy, have I had those). Her voice match perfectly with the words she's singing; you believe in her assertion that the best way to continue with life is simply to forgive, both yourself and others. I think its a song that everyone should give a listen to.
For the reasons stated above, I can see why it was chosen for the Sex and the City film. I hope that the song, through the inevitable success of TV spinoff, receives the attention and adoration is deserves so much.
RATING: 9/10
