Free Music Notes for Change It All
Free Music Review: Does she know me?
Hit: 5 Stars
I became addicted to neo soul in 1995.Towards the end of the last decade my artists disappeared on me. Ms Goapele came out when neo soul had all but lost all its soul. How one person can connect so deeply with the "musical ones" is phenomenal. She has so many faces and her music does display that. She beat the sophomore jinx with change it all. I am so torn as to which I prefer but I tell you what I'll just continue to rock both. If this artist is new to you give her a chance. You could mess around and become her #1 fan. PeaceFree Music Review: Another excellent classic.

Goapele has put out her 2nd strong cd. I love the lyrics and how it flows from one song to the next. It's so relaxing, my favorites are "Different" and "If we Knew"Free Music Review: I Wouldn't Want To Change Much!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
Goapele is a phenomenal artist in every sense of the word. She paints vivid pictures of the stories she tells, a craft that few singers can truly do since they all tend to resort to whatever catchy hook is going to get them a Top 40 hit. The socially-conscious vibe as well as the wistful antidotes shape the very essence of who Goapele is and what her music is about. Even Closer (the revamped version of her independently released Closer) was released in 2002 and helped get her name out there to the contemporary soul crowd. Now over three years later, the sultry songstress returns with her second album Change It All. Luckily, she sticks to a similar formula on this album and doesn't adjust her sound too much.
The title track "Change It All" is the most melodic piece on the whole album, resorting mostly on a simple piano riff and Goapele's deep thoughts on the problems of the world and of your neighborhood. "First Love" takes a look back at the magical feelings we all felt with our initial relationships. "Different" talks about the how couples that start out okay can result in both sides drifting apart and hoping things can be worked out. "Crushed Out" talks about the warm feeling you get from being with your significant other. "Find A Way" is a mid-tempo cut about how we all need to start acting right and doing things for the greater good. "If We Knew" reflects on things we've learned about that we should have handled differently. "Battle Of My Heart" is a soft serenade about following your feelings without giving much thought to what the true consequences of your actions will be. "Darker Side Of The Moon" is a spirited anthem penned by longtime songwriter/producer Linda Perry.
There are a few experimental tracks like "Love Me Right" "4AM" and "Fly Away." But considering this is her second album, she has a little wiggle room to try some things without losing the listeners' interest. With a solid sophomore effort, Goapele has the material to capture new fans of her music. I've had the chance to see her perform live twice and both times she was phenomenal. If you get a chance to hear Change It All (see the Media Center to hear the entire album now) or catch her as an opening act, you will see that Goapele is a truly blessed singer. Hopefully you'll be as blessed as I am for hearing her music in the first place.
Free Music Review: Goapele does it again!
Hit: 5 Stars
Somehow I wasn't surprised. Goapele does not hesitate to give you nothing but quality music mixed with Love and intellectual storylines. Her musical style is a stream of fresh air that manages to break through all the murky halitosis of mainstream materialism laced with misogynistic lyrics normally heard on radio nowadays. Goapele, keep bringing us the good stuff sistahfriend! Run out and get this CD. You will not be disappointed. Free Music Review: Best CD of 2006 So Far!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a music lover and especially a NEO-SOUL lover, and ,in my brief opinion this is so far THE BEST CD to drop in 2006!I loved(and still love) the first cd "Even Closer", and this one is even better in my opinion."Change It All",like the title says, is all about taking stock in your life and your life choices and getting rid of all the negitives.It's full of positive messeges(Just like my choice for best cd of 2005-LINA,"The Inner Beauty Movement-if you haven't heard it go get it,too!!),and its full of fresh beats and grooves that'll have you knodding your head to them(and the lyrics ,too!)I say order this one!!
