goapele

Call off the search.  We’ve got a Goapele sighting.

It’s fitting that after a five year layoff Goapele would name her album Milk & Honey.  While not quite the 40 years the Israelites roamed in the wilderness, it does seem like an eternity due to our shortened attention spans in the ever increasing digital age. And it seems especially long for an independent artist to be off the scene. So it’s good to see the Bay Area songstress back in the game, especially since she’s one of the first artist’s I got put on to when I first discovered TSS.

So with the first leak we’re privy to the title track.  “Milk & Honey” is a great re-introduction to some and an introduction for others.  Chock full of the the soulfulness you’d expect from her, along with a touch of digital fare to appease to the Auto-Tune crowd.
