Why Didnt Goapele Ever Become A Bigger Star?

[L&HH]

I think it's because she was indie. She signed to Columbia but I think that was just for distribution.

 

[levitate]

I liked that song that went...

"For you...I will" I forgot the rest.

Edit: Fly Away

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Closer to my dreams

 

[PinotNoir]

Ain't nothing wrong with her look now, she still look beautiful and young.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

She was sexy wit the dreads. Now she lookin like a lemonhead

#BARS

 

[Self_Born7]

maybe she don't want to sell her soul to the Baphomet.

 

[PhonZhi]

she's always performing here in L.A. and back up in the Bay

but she didn't blow because she created her own record label going independent so she can have control of her music... that's just a bay area mentality

fukk majors

 

[PhonZhi]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

 

[concise]

The black community wasn't ready for a half-Black, half-Jewish star until Drake.

When I use to work on radio during college, I'd play a lot of her stuff during my midday show. I honestly think a lot of those people weren't really trying to become "stars". There's like a whole squad of other neo soul artists like her that pretty much just stayed in their respective lanes. You can be successful without being famous. You can still make money and not go mainstream. Mainstream is really an illusion for the most part anyways. it almost requires you to not have a soul and just play a role

This joint kinda blew in the mainstream for a hot second:



but she never followed up with anything after that and never became relevant in the mainstream.

Her album "Change It All" is one of my personal faves:









Here's her newest joint:



Never thought I would hear Goapele over a trap-inspired beat

I love this woman lol! And I always love how she puts on for The Bay. Closer was my shyt of course, change it all did have some cuts on it. One of my favorites is

I don't know nothing about Clyde Carson but he's perfect on the track.

I don't like Keak Da Sneak but he did his thing on this song with her.

 

[Rakim Allah]

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Oh and the entire Break of dawn album was underrated even though I think she was trying to cross over. This is one of the sexiest songs of all time!

 

[Standing on business]

How has her best song not been posted

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

closer is a south FL classic

It's a classic everywhere stop it
