Goapele, whose name means “to move forward” in the South African language of Setswana, has done just that since her 2001 self-released debut album, Closer. In the last 3 to 4 years, the Oakland, California native has become a mother, cut off her signature dreads and truly come into her own as a woman. Currently promoting her latest effort, Break of Dawn, CherryOnTop got a chance to sit down with Goapele during her recent stop in NYC for a show at the legendary B.B. King’s to talk about showing off her sexy side, the pressure to get scantily clad and overly sexual like some of her contemporaries, Rihanna and her possible role in the upcoming Sparkle remake.
