[[Imani Coppola]] is a musician from [[Big Applesauce|New York City]], known for playing multiple instruments (her albums credit her for guitars, keyboards and violins) and switching between normal singing and rapping. Her style can basically be summed up as [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]] or [[Genre Roulette]]: a combination of [[Hip Hop]], [[Alternative Rock]], [[Pop]], [[Funk]]/[[Soul]] and whatever else is handy, while largely falling under the umbrella of "alternative". Basically, think The [[Beastie Boys]] crossed with ''[[The Beatles|The White Album]]''.
She gained some fame thanks to her critically acclaimed 1997 debut ''Chupacabra'', which spawned the hit "Legend of a Cowgirl", giving her the status of [[One-Hit Wonder]]. However, [[Executive Meddling]] on the part of Columbia Records ensued, her second album was shelved and she was dropped. She spent a long time out of the mainstream afterwards, self-releasing various albums that can be pretty hard to get a hang of.
Line 8:
Coppola began regaining attention in 2006 by touring with [[Mike Patton]]'s side project Peeping Tom, who picked her up for his label Ipecac Recordings and put out ''The Black and White Album''. She's since started an R&B duo with Adam Pallin called Little Jackie, who had another hit single in 2008 with "The World Should Revolve Around Me". Let's hope this won't end up a [[One-Hit Wonder]] as well.
