Yep, near San Francisco. My friend is a local musician. He plays with a few bands, and recently got to be part of a horn section with The Black Crowes. He didn't say much about his meeting with Prince, so my guess is that it was very short. Probably something along the lines of "Hey Prince, I play a mean saxophone...hey where are you going?

Oh, it's like when he goes, "Johnny B Well," and he's referring to John Blackwell. I like it when he does this. The man is full of surprises.

I liked "Closer" from the first album, don't know if I've even heard anything from the second

Her hair is beautiful

Blaque - have you seen the video for this? Is she in the forest & there's a little girl, blah blah blah... I think I saw a video for this but didn't recognize the song (which is cool, thanks for the link ), didn't know if it was new or old.

SWEET...

BlaqueKnight said:

U guys are making me question my hearing.....maybe I need to LISTEN again.

Graycap23 said:

Blaque has yet to steer me wrong

CalhounSq said:

[b]Yep. Seen this and "Closer" Closer sounded very empty to me. It sounded like pre-production instead of a full song.

CalhounSq said:

What does she look like in person?

BlaqueKnight said:

Yea, this song IS way better than Closer

Graycap23 said:

Do it, cousin!

CalhounSq said:

The one thing I liked most about "Closer" was that it could be a love song, a song abiut dreams and goals, and can be listened to in all settings. Not too many songs can hit on all 3.

Uhm, I guess a record release party is a good opportunity to get your name known in the music industry. Is that how it works?

Thanks.

StoneCrib said:

Now that I've listened to Closer (clicking on the links), I found the beauty of this song are the rhythmic claps accompanying throughout the song, and the reflective nature of the lyrics.

Hi Sweet.

Looks like you really like Goapele. How did you find out about her? I myself read an article in which she said that for Change It All she was trading a green hat for a purple hat. I sensed a Prince connection when she said "purple hat," and I really liked what was said about her album. So, I bought it and can't stop listening to it ever since.

Saw her last night. Her musicians are top notch. I didn't expect the music end of her show to rival some of the better Neo-Soul bands but it did. She's on Par with Angie Stone's band MUSICALLY. Her voice is still...okay. She's got a lil' bit of skillz, though. She's prettier than most of her promo pictures and what surprised me is that she smiles a LOT. You can't tell from her music videos.
