Like TIANA said get her second album “Change It All” This track is prolly one of the most sexy piece on the whole album. There are a few experimental tracks but considering that this is her sophmore effort, she still gets your attention. I love the fact she doesn’t sell out or change her sound for the popular market. Keep it sexy baby.

I love her! She is so talented and soulful…
She shows us that you can keep your clothes on and you don’t have to shake your behind to be sexy.

She’s talented and naturally beautiful… a combination that is becoming scarce in Black musicians.

Her first cd is OK. Not really feeling the second one. I think she’s very attractive and honorable for her activism…but I’m not really sold on her music.

This chick is it! She’s gorgeous, her hair is fly, and her singing style is on point. I’ve been sprung ever since I saw her on Soul Train a few months back. Her song “Different” is my ish.

Love me some Goapele!!!!
“Some people go on looking for years and lifetimes
Just to find what we got now so let the wind blow,
Let the sun shine, let the birds fly
Turn it up, let’s ride.
Come on let’s catch a show, escape the moment
Through these trying times you got me on a natural high…”
“Ease Your Mind”

Goapele is tight, I think I was the only brotha in the South rocking her for a while. Bout time the masses caught on, she is a talent. Concrete, thanks for hipping me to the Jazz Cafe in London, my azz was googling for kick it spots in London and this spot never came up. Now I can check a few shows there over the summer. Good look out!!!

I’ve been beefin’ up my music library and I’m definitely gonna have to add Goapele to it…I went back and got all of Anthony Hamilton’s stuff (NC fam right there) and now I’m dealing w/ this Van Hunt addiction, so I think I need to throw some female neo-soul up in the mix too…good lookin’ out, Tianna

Goapele is on point. She’s been on heavy rotation on both my ipod and cd player for a few years now. Love her stuff and her imagery in her videos. Love the new CD as well. “Different” is my joint!
Her lyrical work is very good. She is very talented and beautiful. Truly a standout!
Good lookin’ CL

If anybody hasn’t been to one of her concerts you don’t know what your missing! Goapele has a smooth R&B/Soulful voice and I enjoyed listening to both of her CD’s. Check her out people!

Goapele is great. She’s keeping in real, and I’m proud of her. By the way, her roots are from South Africa, in Soweto to be exact.

I have both of her cd’s. I like her first one better however. Goapele, along with India.Arie and Amel Larrieux are some of my favorite artists. I play them all the time and my mind becomes free if only for a little while.
