Emerging as a proven creative disruptor, critically acclaimed R&B enchantress India Shawn presents her anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Before We Go Deeper.

Clean throwback guitar threads through a head-nodding tambourine-driven beat as she relives the ups and downs of a rocky romance in a call-and-response chorus. At the heart of the track, she flexes her expansive vocal range, stretching from intimate intonation into moments of heavenly high register.

Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the track.

BEFORE WE GO DEEPER evokes every side of INDIA’s inimitable style. "WHEN I CALL" glides on an otherworldly bounce as she urges, "Give me love, when I call, pick it up". Her voice flutters above acoustic guitar on the intimate "SAME FLOOR", while "JUST YOU" serves as sweet conclusion punctuated by a funky riff, swooning strings, and organic percussion. On the finale, she assures, "All I wanted is just you". Meanwhile, the project boasts fan favorites such as "CALI LOVE", "DON’T PLAY WITH MY HEART", "TOO SWEET" featuring Unknown Mortal Orchestra, "NOT TOO DEEP" featuring 6LACK, and "MOVIN ON" featuring Anderson .Paak.

SoulBounce exclaimed, "We think it’s safe to say that India Shawn knows how to do sexy", while HotNewHipHop attested, "The Los Angeles-born singer uses her smooth voice over a catchy, sultry beat to show off her singing and songwriting talent". YouKnowIGotSoul raved, "The stripped down ballad is a perfect display of her beautiful and sensual vocals", and Rated R&B noted, "Each element evenly blends with her sultry murmurs of give-and-take in a romance that faces its shares of bumps and bruises". Ebony christened her "one of the new wave of R&B singers to keep your eye on".

INDIA picks up the momentum she ignited with 2021’s BEFORE WE GO EP. Beyond tallying over 10 million-plus streams, the project earned widespread critical acclaim. OKAYPLAYER named it one of "14 New Hip-Hop & R&B Albums You Should Be Listening To" and hailed it as "lush, moody, and reflective". Snobette dubbed it "a sweetly smooth seven-song r&b project", and HotNewHipHop summed it up as "perfect for R&B lovers".
