The tracks will be a little more synthy and hard-hitting, but I think it will be fun. And also some fun stuff I feel much more open now. There’s a sensual vibe to it, and there’s also introspective song of what I’ve been through the past few years. I tried to come into it like “we’re going to do 10 songs and it’s going to have this type of vibe.” But I’m a very eclectic person, so now it’s turned into a much longer album, and trying to put the different pieces of myself in there. Goapele: It came organically, and that’s the way it always ends up with me. Ismael: Were you going in with a set directive, or was this an organic project? It turned into a longer process so it could really feel right. So when we first put out the “Milk & Honey” song, I just kept recording and recording. This album has been one that I really go to take my time with.

Goapele: Um, I just wasn’t done yet, basically. What’s been the reason for the long delay? Ismael AbduSalaam: When the “Milk & Honey” video dropped last year, everyone was expecting the album right behind it.

After a year plus of work, Goapele is just a few months away from sharing the fruits of her labor with the world. Now going into 2011, Goapele can count Kanye West, Bedrock, Drumma Boy, Bobby Ozuna, and Malay amongst the producers contributing to Milk & Honey. Instead, Goapele cannot seem to stop recording music! The talented Oakland songstress has been on a creative high, and did not want to begin selecting songs until every lyric and vocal was out of her system. The one year delay of her fourth studio album, Milk & Honey, is not due to label or ever her own dissatisfaction. Album delays are nothing new in the music industry, but Goapele’s situation is unique.
