Renowned R&B artist Goapele is embarking on a new musical journey, giving fans a taste of her upcoming album COLOURS with the release of “Purple.” This heartfelt track showcases Goapele’s distinctive vocal style and offers a glimpse into her artistic evolution.

In “Purple,” Goapele explores the theme of vulnerability in the face of irresistible attraction. Her lyrics draw parallels between this intense connection and the cannabis strain “Purple Haze,” famously associated with Jimi Hendrix’s song of the same name. With lines like “It’s more than just a phase / Cause I’m lost inside your purple haze,” Goapele beautifully captures the complex emotions that come with falling for someone special.

This song marks the second release from her forthcoming album, COLOURS, which is scheduled to debut in the fall. For fans eagerly anticipating new music from Goapele, this album promises a diverse and captivating musical journey. It’s been nearly a decade since her last full-length album, “Strong As Glass,” which reached No. 16 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart in 2014. In the interim, Goapele released the EP “Dreamseeker” in 2017, featuring the Billboard-charting hit “Stay” with BJ The Chicago Kid.

As “Purple” sets the stage for her upcoming album, listeners can expect Goapele to continue pushing creative boundaries and delivering soulful, emotionally resonant music. The release of “Purple” and its accompanying music video offer a tantalizing glimpse into what’s to come from this talented singer-songwriter.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you wanna do?
Call it dare or truth
‘Cause you get the best of me
Every time you come around
Got me in a daze, oh
‘Cause I’m lost inside your purple haze

[Chorus]
Nothing else matters
No one I’d rather
One touch, my walls fall away
Don’t know what happens
Just know that I wanna stay
Right here inside your purple haze

[Verse 2]
Feel just like a fool
For you I’d break the rules
The way my heart is opening
I’m wondering, do you feel it too?
It’s more than just a phase, oh
‘Cause I’m lost inside your purple haze

[Chorus]
Nothing else matters
No one I’d rather
One touch, my walls fall away
Don’t know what happens
Just know that I wanna stay
Right here inside your purple haze

[Bridge]
Chemistry’s strong, got my mind spinning (Spinning)
Tryna make sense of all these feelings (Feelings)
Just one look and I feel better (Better)
When I’m with you I’m in Heaven (Heaven)
Right here inside your purple haze

[Outro]
Right here inside your purple haze
Right here inside your purple haze
Right here inside your—, right here
Right here inside your purple haze, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
