New Jody Watley - "Candlelight"


I grabbed this from another message board. I thought it was good info to pass along:

Jody has not released anything to radio in the US since 1998 when she had a Top 30 R&B hit with "Off The Hook". The Flower album was not even released in the United States until it hit iTunes a few months ago, so you have to go back to 1995's Affection to find the last time Jody put out an R&B album in the United States. Since then, she's released a few dance albums here, 2003's Midnight Lounge and 2006's The Makeover which featured newly recorded remixes of her old hits as well as a handful of covers. In 2009, Jody is going to be releasing her tenth solo album, Chameleon, which will see her veering back towards R&B, and "Candlelight" is the lead single.

"Candlelight" is now available on iTunes and available for streaming on Jody's MySpace. It's a good song, but with her being signed to an independent label, I doubt they're going to give it much of a push. Some Urban AC stations should pick it up though. It's really smooth, and Jody sounds as good as ever. It reminds me of some of her Affection album tracks.

It's listed on the player on the left: http://www.myspace.com/jodywatley

I'm not crazy about Candlelight... it's okay but I'm looking forward to the album and I'm digging the cover.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

I don't know that I would call "The Makeover" a dance album. But who I am to judge that insane discography rationalization. I loved "Midnight Lounge" but nothing from her so far as impressed me after that.

I agree with u. The Makeover was not a true dance album. I did enjoy a few of the covers on there, but the majority I didn't like.

I have previewed the tracks on her myspace page and am not that impressed. I have always looked to Jody as an innovator. The clips on her page are very bland. I'll probably still buy the cd, but am not excited yet.
