Any Goapele fans at the Org? What do you guys think of her latest album "Change it All"? She reminds me of Donna Summer. Unlike Donna, Goapele deals with much more than ballads. I really liked her commentary on the lack of funding for education, music programs in schools and libraries. | |

I really like "First Love". I didn't care much for her voice on the first record. This record, the writing and production are much better. She's coming to my city soon. I'm debating on whether or not I'm going to go. | |

I am hoping that she tours Florida. If she does I may go. | |

she's cool...I saw her Floetry a few months back...she accidently disconnected her mic while singing shit was too funny...she handled it like a trooper though. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

She's A'ight...."change it all" is decent. "I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either" ~ Jesse Owens | |

Her 1st album was kinda saucified (weak) but Change it All is strong as hell. You can tell she put more thought into the lyrics this time around. Very underrated artist. Neo Soul on a whole...gets no respect. Living to die and I'll die to live again - 360 degrees - comprehend | |

She used to run the West coast operations for Wherehouse records Black Music division. I'm not sure exactly what she is up to these days. | |

I haven't heard her stuff yet. How did the meeting with Prince go? Besides Violet Brown, she thanks Stevie Wonder and Prince in the Thank Yous section of Change It All. | |

It's relaxing and relieves stress. [Edited 6/7/06 14:12pm] | |

No question he has met her. She was heavily involved over at EMI Black Music Division along with Kevin Black when they were in charge of promoting Emancipation back in 1997. | |
