Madd Hatta sits down with Goapele to celebrate 25 years of her timeless anthem, “Closer,” and the independent journey that made her a Bay Area R&B icon. She opens up about building her career on her own terms, her latest album Colors, finding balance after years of grinding, and the advice she would give young artists about patience, teamwork, rest, and staying true to their vision.
