I was really disappointed by Goapele's Break of Dawn. Mediocre.
I was hoping the delays were to give her time to work on her pitch, but she's still singing the same way - off key. I get it. She's beautiful. She's "natural". She has good lyrics (although she didn't write this album alone). She seems to be a decent enough person.
But does any of that have to do with the music? She sings off-key. Consistently. I keep wanting to give her another chance, but I think I'm done. I can't waste any more money. We have rappers who can carry a note better than Goapele. That seems odd.
Your character is defined by what you do when you think no one is looking.
