Coppola released several independently recorded albums in the early 2000s as well as starring in the musical film The Singing Biologist, where she wrote the music for the movie. In 2007, she was signed to Ipecac Records, and the same year released The Black & White Album. The album was met with favorable reviews from music critics and marked a comeback for Coppola. The following year, she formed the pop/R&B duo Little Jackie with programmer Adam Pallin. Their debut single, "The World Should Revolve Around Me", reached the top 40 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The song was used as the theme for the VH1 reality TV series New York Goes to Hollywood, and peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Pop 100 airplay chart. The duo's debut album, The Stoop, was released by S-Curve in 2008, though it peaked outside of the top 100 in the United Kingdom, and the duo were dropped from the label. Following The Stoop, Coppola released two more solo records: The Glass Wall, in 2012, and Hypocrites, in 2017. In addition to her solo work, Coppola has recorded two further albums as part of Little Jackie: Made4TV, in 2011, and Queen of Prospect Park, in 2014.

Early life and education

Coppola grew up as the second-youngest of five children in Long Island, New York.[3] Coppola's lower-income family, headed by an African-American mother and Italian father,[4] did not fit in, and she and her family were picked on.[5] Her circumstances encouraged her independence and also her creativity, as her family, who received welfare,[6] had little money to pay for entertainment.[5] Her mother, a teacher, was the primary income earner, while her carpenter father was often out of work and refused to earn an income from his art.[6]

Coppola grew up surrounded by music, as her father is a jazz musician, her mother plays bass, and all of her siblings are musicians as well.[4][7] She recalled, in an interview with Amplifier magazine, that her first musical memory is of her father, who was her biggest musical influence, playing the song "Bessie's Blues" "on a severely out of tune piano".[8] She began playing violin at the age of six, eventually studying studio composition at the State University of New York at Purchase.[4][3] She was not happy and left after one year.[9]

Career

1997–1999: Early success
Further information on the album Chupacabra: Chupacabra (album)

During her time at college, Coppola made some demos and played them to music publisher Ross Elliot, the boyfriend of her older sister Maya.[3] Elliot connected Coppola with producer Michael Mangini, known for his work with Digable Planets.[3] While still in college, Coppola cut three demo tracks with Digable Planets that resulted in a bidding war for the artist among other labels.[7][3] Coppola accepted a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1997.[3][10]

In 1997, Coppola released her debut single, "Legend of a Cowgirl". The song entered the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 within weeks of its release,[3] eventually peaking at number 36 and spending a total of 20 weeks in the top 100.[11][12] The single also achieved some success internationally, peaking within the top 40 in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and also charting in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.[13][14][15][16][17][18] The song's accompanying music video became a hit as well, going into rotation on MTV and earning a nomination at the 1998 Billboard Music Video Awards, in the category of Best New Artist Clip: Pop.[19][20][21] (The video eventually lost to Natalie Imbrulia's "Torn".)[22]

Coppola's debut album, Chupacabra, was released in October 1997.[23] The album elicited rave reviews from music critics, who favorably compared Coppola's music to that of De La Soul and Neneh Cherry.[3][24][25] The album achieved a peak of number 47 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart dated January 17, 1998, three months after the album's release.[26] it spent a total of one week on the chart.[27] The album also charted in the UK, where it peaked at number 138 on the UK Albums Chart.[28] The album spawned a second single, "I'm a Tree",[29] which samples The Doors' "Soul Kitchen".[30] The song was unsuccessful, peaking only in Australia, where it reached number 201.[31] That year, Coppola played Lilith Fair, although she was vocal about her opinion of Lilith founder Sarah McLachlan before the tour, indicating that she felt McLachlan was "boring to watch live".[19] Coppola remarked that "I think she's a good songwriter, at times, and singer. She's boring to watch live, though."[19]

2000–2006: Independent career

Columbia Records dropped her in 2000, subsequently shelving her second studio album, Come and Get Me... What?! Coppola had expressed frustration with the label's desire for her to sample other artists when she wanted to compose her music entirely by herself.[32] Then 22, Coppola felt she needed to learn considerably more about music and art.[32] Never having performed beyond high school musical theater, Coppola felt she had achieved success too easily, without truly working for it.[32]

In 2001, she was featured on a single by the Baha Men, titled "You All Dat". The song, which was produced by Michael Mangini (who had previously produced Coppola's debut album),[33][23] was successful upon its release, becoming a top 10 hit in Australia, where it peaked at number 8, giving Coppola her first top 10 hit in that region;[33] it achieved a peak of 21 in New Zealand.[34] In the United States, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 94.[11] It became Coppola's last US chart entry as a solo artist.[35]

The single also achieved success throughout Europe: it became a top 40 hit on the UK Singles Chart, where it achieved a peak of number 14,[36] and on the Irish Singles Chart, on which it peaked at number 26.[37] The song also charted in Austria,[38] Germany,[39] Sweden,[40] and Switzerland.[41]

Without a major label behind her, Coppola started recording music at home in 2001; that same year, Coppola was part of the band supporting Sandra Bernhard in her off-Broadway production of The Love Machine.[42] During this time, Coppola also starred in a movie, The Singing Biologist, playing Rose, the titular character.[43] In 2004, Coppola released Afrodite, a neo-funk record that Vibe retrospectively deemed "excellent."[44] By 2004, Coppola was playing acoustic guitar in small clubs like Forum in New York City with her drummer Alex Elana, in the Two Shadow Posse.[45] These performances were not well-attended, and Coppola hated performing them.[45] During this time period, Coppola fell into poverty and was forced to move to Staten Island.[46]

In 2005, she launched her own website and opened an online music store where she sold her independent albums; she decorated and packaged each copy of the album by hand. In that year, she also co-wrote the title track on Maia Sharp's Fine Upstanding Citizen, which Out Magazine deemed the album's strongest track.[47][48] The following year, she contributed a song, titled "Woodstock", to American vocalist Alice Russell's debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me.[49][50] In May of that year, Coppola performed with Peeping Tom on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Subsequently, she went on tour with the band. In an interview with Erin Broadley in November 2007, Coppola indicated that she had enjoyed the experience of working with Patton and other artists, which she found artistically open.[51]

2007–2009: The Black & White Album
Further information on the album The Black & White Album: The Black & White Album

In 2007, Coppola was signed to Ipecac Recordings, which was started by Faith No More frontman Mike Patton.[46] In November of that year, the label released Coppola's eighth studio album, The Black & White Album, her first "easily available release" since her debut album, released a decade before, according to AllMusic.[52] Upon its release, the album received favorable reviews from music critics, earning a score of 75 out of 100 on review aggregate site Album of the Year.[53] The album spawned two singles: "Raindrops from the Sun (Hey, Hey, Hey)", which appeared in an episode of Grey's Anatomy (titled "Kung Fu Fighting"),[54] and "Woke Up White", which Spin included on their list of "Songs You Need to Download Now!" in their October 2007 issue.[55] In November 2007, Coppola said in interview that she was unsure if she was going to tour to support The Black & White Album, citing financial concerns.[51] She said, "I don't even have a car. I don't know, I would love to put together at least one banging show together for this album. Definitely, it deserves that."[51]

2010–2016: The Glass Wall and collaborations

Coppola took a break from her solo work to focus on Little Jackie; in 2010, Coppola released a new EP via Reverbnation, titled Imani's Magic Chicken Soup EP.[56] It included one single - "Over It", which had an accompanying music video.[57]

In 2012, Coppola released her ninth solo studio album, The Glass Wall, via Bandcamp.[58] The album is named for the New York City studio at which it was recorded.[59]

That year, she also contributed "Celebrate", recorded with Tim Myers, to the soundtrack for Butter.[60][61] Two years later, in 2014, Coppola recorded a song titled "Perfect Days", which was written by Tarka Cordell. The song was featured on a charity compilation honoring the songwriter; other contributors included Lily Allen, Alice Temple, and Alice Smith.[62] The following year, in 2015, Coppola collaborated with Blackalicious on "The Sun",[63][64] performing the song's chorus.[65] Regarding the collaboration, Chief Xcel told Hip Hop DX that "she’s just a genius, Imani Coppola. She’s one of the most brilliant writers I’ve ever worked with [...] We’d done quite a few versions actually of that, and all were really, really dope. But when Imani heard it and she put her thing on it, I was like, 'That was it...'"[66] In 2015, Coppola traveled to West Hollywood to work on her singing career.[67]

In 2016, Coppola co-wrote and co-produced Hailey Knox's debut single, "Geeks", which was praised by Meghan Trainor;[68][69] Coppola also wrote another of Knox's songs, "Awkward", with Michael Mangini, whom she had previously worked with on her debut album and in Little Jackie.[70]

2017–present Hypocrites

On July 21, 2017, Coppola premiered a new single, "Just Feels Good", via Yahoo! Music. Coppola had originally written the song with Rachel Platten in mind, but after Platten passed on it, Coppola decided to record it herself.[71] The music video was shot at Coney Island's annual Mermaid Parade.[71] Hypocrites, Coppola's twelfth studio album, which was crowdfunded using PledgeMusic, was released on the same day as the release of "Just Feels Good".[72][71] Coppola produced the album, along with co-producer Josh Valleau.[73]

On September 25, 2017, Coppola released the album's second single, "Mixed Nut". Coppola stated that the song "poke(s) fun at some current social trends, such as speaking in a manner that makes it sound like you’re always asking a question when you’re actually making a statement. The term for it is ‘up speak,’ and I find it to be incredibly irritating even though I am sometimes guilty of doing it. Another pet peeve of the zeitgeist is this fixation people have with claiming not to be ‘one to judge.’ Please, if you are a human being, you judge."[74] The accompanying music video filmed and edited by Vonesper Studios was shot in her apartment using her artwork as backdrops and premiered on Yahoo!Music.[74]

Little Jackie
Main article: Little Jackie

In 2007, Coppola was signed to S-Curve Records as part of the duo Little Jackie, with whom she collaborated with producer and multi-instrumentalist Adam Pallin. Coppola sees Little Jackie as an opportunity to get back into pop and also to generate the income she needs to follow her dream of developing artists herself.[75] She indicates that "genre-bending acts" like Gnarls Barkley enabled her to return to the music industry.[6]

Speaking in July 2008 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Coppola stated: "Whereas, in my opinion, Imani Coppola is a REAL artist, Little Jackie represents my 'POPULAR artist' side [...] And to me this is probably my last attempt at becoming a superstar! If it blows up — WONDERFUL! If I become a superstar — FANTASTIC!... And if I don't, I guess I'll stay very happy just being a crazy-lady artist — making art every day and having that be my food!"[76]

The duo has released three albums. Their first, The Stoop, was released in July 2008 by S-Curve Records.[77] The album's lead single, "The World Should Revolve Around Me",[77] became a top 20 hit in the United Kingdom and was featured as the theme song for the VH1 reality TV series New York Goes to Hollywood,[78][79][80] in which Little Jackie make a guest appearance.[81] The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, earning a score of 64 out of 100 on review aggregate site Album of the Year.[82] The album peaked at number 138 on the UK Albums Chart.[83] In 2011, Little Jackie released their second album MADE4TV independently on their own Plush Moon Records.[84][85] Their third album, Queen of Prospect Park, was released on 30 September 2014. It featured two songs that appeared in I Don't Know How She Does It—"We Got It" and "Move to the Beat"—and "Lose It", which was featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy.[86][87]

Musical style

Coppola says her songwriting is fused through a "pop sensibility".[32] She indicates that her tastes and musical influences are diverse,[51] including classical,[75] which she acknowledges can be a problem in an industry that wants its artists to be clearly defined.[51] Coppola decided to write in whatever genre she wanted.[51] She describes her focus on The Black and White Album as "more experimental, more punk, more rock".[75]

Coppola uses a different process when she is songwriting for herself from when she is songwriting for another artist or writing on speculation.[51] She says, "My brain changes, my thought processes, my body language changes, the way I work changes....; When you do work for other artists, it’s definitely more of a job and it requires a lot of tools."[51]

Personal life

Coppola lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant. She has commented that she struggles with the modern demands for accessibility in the music world, such as online interviews and video blogs.[88] In making choices in her own life, she has stated that she is torn between respect and resentment at the legacy left by her parents,[51] explaining, "My parents are both artists and we starved, we went through a lot of difficulty growing up because of their choices in life [...] When it comes down to making important decisions about my life and my foundation, you know, their artistic side haunts me. Like maybe I should just do what they did."[51]
