MAG COVERS: GOAPELE COVERS DIABLO MAG
Friday, September 25, 2009
Oakland based singer/songwriter Goapele covers the latest issue of Bay Area magazine, Diablo.
She sits down with the mag and speaks about the birth of her daughter, writing new music and of course her love for the Bay Area. Here is a snippet:
In person, Goapele is stunning. Dressed in designer jeans and a tiger-print tee, her dark eyes and sculpted face are model beautiful. In conversation, she is serious and thoughtful as she speaks about her creative process. “A lot of what I do is solitary. It’s me in a room, writing a song,” she says. “It’s hard to know if this will connect with an audience.”
Goapele is currently working on a brand new album, which is a follow up to her 2005 album, Change It All. Make sure to peep her latest video for the song “Milk & Honey”.

@ 3, I couldnt agree with you more.! The magazine cover is amazing, and she looks pretty.! One of the things I can say about her is that she loves her braids but it suits her well.!

@3, I agree! very talented soul artists. Tamia and Heather Headly are among my favorites.
great shot of Goapele! I’m not feeling the new track too much..I think I need to take another list. If it’s anything like “Closer” yes please!

—–Loving all the great comments on here!:) Let me sprinkle a lil bit more positivity in here!
—-Man i’ve loved this woman since the first time i heard “Closer” i’ve been swaying to her ever since. She is beautiful! Very unique and distinct facial feaures. I’m sure she’s an equally beautiful person in the inside. Her music is soulful yet it’s mixed with something else..let’s just call it ‘Love”..lol. Yea she’s soulful /love i like that. Great look and great music!
