Bay Area songstress Goapele blew onto the scene a lttle over 2 years ago with her 14 track critically acclaimed album Even Closer. She has claimed fans such as Prince, Rosario Dawson, Rodney Jerkins, Magic Johnson, Kanye West, President Gerald Ford and Talib Kweli to name a few and now is preparing her next dish for the people. Change It All will be Goapele‘s next foray in the neo soul movement.
Goapele brings a well-needed enigmatic presence to a mundane industry that is devoid of innovative magic and fascination, but thick with semblance. Her signature of throaty moans and nostalgic lyrical poetry evoke all things old yet somehow manages to be refreshingly new. Her radio smash “Closer” was featured virtually everywhere. From radio to TV shows to movies, the songstress has made a name for herself.
From being noted as the Bay Area’s “Best Kept Secret” (via the Source) to being heralded by virtually every publication, Goapele is poised to make a splash. Her album features production from the likes of Bedrock, Jeff Bhasker, Linda Perry, Sa Ra Creative Partners and Mike Tiger (The Coup, Martin Luther) many of whom contributed to making Even Closer a success.
Be on the lookout for Change It All this spring/summer.
