I am India Ari, and this is my podcast, Songversation, where I choose one of my songs, and I riff on that song, simple as that.

This is episode 11, Songversation, Break the Shell.

Thank you so much for all of your requests.

And all of your messages and your videos are so cool to watch.

And I have so many ideas about what the next

conversations will be about because of you.

And it's so cool to hear the variety of things people want to hear

conversations about.

That is so freaking cool.

And I decided to do break the shell today because

it is Cicely Tyson's birthday. And with the New Year coming, I thought I would tell you how I spent

New Year's Day 2007 with Cicely Tyson and a bunch of other icons and artists.

A lot to say about this song.

So welcome to Songversation.
