After a six-year hiatus on a journey through motherhood and life outside of music, Goapele has returned with the sensual single, "Play". The song features production from Oakland based duo, Teddy Thunderbolt & Dan Electric, and was written by Goapele herself. Currently available through Skyblaze Recordings/Decon via iTunes and Amazon, the single incorporates elements of funky, down-tempo electronic vibes layered with Goapele's smooth and seductive vocals. The video, which was directed by John Mazyck and Dahveed of Detail Shoppe, was shot in a graphic black and white. It showcases Goapele in a glamorous, high fashion themed setting that gives both an evocative and sensual visual to the pillow talk vibe of the song.

"Play" is just a taste of the musical feast Goapele will be offering this fall when her new album, Break of Dawn, to be released October 24th. Collaborating with an array of creative folks including Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, Bobby Ozuna, Malay, Dan Electric and Bedrock, fans will bare witness to a more free-spirited Goapele. "One of my goals for [Break of Dawn] was to be more uninhabited," Goapele says. "I came into this business as a young woman who wanted to lay a foundation of musical integrity and now I'm more willing to share my sensuality as well. I realize that it's possible to be both complex and provocative."

She is not what mainstream wants. She has an awesome voice that i am sure does'nt need studio tuning. I have loved her for years! Love this song sooooo sexy!

Goapele is amazing! The industry is deliberately sleeping on her.
