The improvement in her songwriting is most obvious from the first three tracks (after the short intro). As on her debut, there is a marked balance of organic and artificial: an acoustic guitar paces many tracks, though the edges are shorn off for a digital feel the beats are often sampled, but there are still plenty of handclaps and fingersnaps and the arrangements are simple yet obviously very polished. That anticipation, and trepidation, is exactly what makes Voyage to India such a beautiful surprise it's a record that easily equals her debut, boasting better vocal performances but also better songwriting and accompanying production. Several of her neo-soul compatriots, from D'Angelo to Erykah Badu to Macy Gray, had faltered with sophomore albums, and it appeared she may have already said everything she had to say on Acoustic Soul.
