This soulful art has been Goapele’s gift, demonstrated through her 2001 iconic breakthrough hit “ Closer.” Goapele’s roots and musical background at Berkeley School of Music fueled her to create commanding songs that examine life’s complexities with openness and precision relatable to the ordinary person. The Oakland, CA native is the daughter of a South African father, who escaped Apartheid and lived in exile, and a New-York born German Jewish mother. UB picks are “Enough,” “Need You” and “Color My Heart.”
The eight-track sensual gem, is a vibe through and through.
On November 3rd, she returns with her seventh and most introspective album yet, “ Colours” via Skyblaze Recordings. Singer, songwriter, producer, entrepreneur, humanitarian, Goapele has solidified herself amongst the most prolific R&B and soulful visionaries and creators of our time.
