O.k. I JUST discovered Goapele and, even though i have no clue how to pronounce her name, I'm hooked! THEN I find out she had the nicest head of locs....it's a two-for-one ya'll: great music, great style!

Who's rocking Goapele? (oh and how do you pronounce her name?)

I heard of her name, but haven't heard the music. Now I must check it out. Thanks for a heads up :app

I'm feeling her! I don't own the album yet ( but I've DL'd some tracks) and I plan on copping the entire cd before the year is out, if I don't get it as a gift first :-cre

That sista is THE TRUTH.. lol.. One of my best cd purchases this year.. My fav songs on there are Romantic, Catch 22, Ease your mind, Things dont exist, Salvation, Back to you

She's like a mix of sade, jill scott, and amel larreaux.. Can't go wrong with that right.. and she's such a pretty sista too (I think she's south african)..

Her name is prounced Guah-poo-lay.. Lawd knows I've been screwing her name up but the homies finally set me straight on it..

Check her website and you can preview the entire cd.. http://www.goapele.com/flash/home.html .. Every single song is on there.

She had a video for catch 22, but its not like it got any airtime, BET SUCKS A BIG FAT ONE.. I saw it at like 2 in the morning one night by mistake, half sleep, at the end of some entertainment weekly show..

and for the downloaders out there.. she's got a song with the hip hop group Heiroglyphics called Sowetto(not on the cd) .. damnnnn i luv that joint.

Been carrying this one from the house to the car to the gym and back again for months.

Dang thanks! I've been saying 'Go-A-pell' :-cre

My favorite song is Closer....Heiroglyphics is JUST NICE!

I have to give her a straigt :app :app :app

I saw that video the other day. That was hot. I dig her. I think she's one to watch definitely. I saw her at an In Store here in L.A. and I look forward to seeing her live.

Wow - you people have good taste! I love this cd. I've had it since early this year and still play it regularly

Yea, got the CD a year ago, still listening.

Her name is pronounced wah-pay-lay

I'm going to get this CD - I hear it on the radio on Sundays when they play Neo-soul music. I love the erthiness of her voice.
