Synopsis

Album Description
2009 release, the ninth solo album from the Soul/R&B diva. The Makeover puts a pop-tronic spin and proverbial twist on the concept of "the cover record." The result is a groove-laden odyssey of fresh sounds that find the Grammy Award winning artist doing "makeovers" of contemporary classics such as Bob Marley's 'Waiting in Vain', Diana Ross' 'Love Hangover', Chic's 'I Want Your Love' and Madonna's 'Borderline'. Watley chooses to forego a conventional Pop approach, opting to embrace a bold musical statement that includes collaborations with some of today's most sought-after DJ/producers of Electronica, Nu-Soul and Deep House including King Britt, 4Hero, DJ Spinna, Ron Trent and Chris Brann.

"JODY WATLEY, HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GIFTED SONG WRITER TALENTED PERFORMER AND SINGER, THIS 2ND INSTALLMENT OF THE MAKEOVER IS NO EXCEPTIONS. I LOVE IT, IT IS A MUST HAVE ONCE AGAIN MS. WATLEY HAS PROVEN THAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC CAN COVEY JUST AS MUCH EMOTION AS ANY OTHER GENRE OF MUSIC,FINALLY A 10 MIN DANCE VERSION OF LOVE HANGOVER,A SEXY REMAKE OF ERASURE'S LITTLE RESPECT,SHE DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW, HER VOCALS ON THIS SONG ARE AMAZING, WAITING IN VAIN. A NEW BRAZILIAN STYLE VERY GOOD. OVERALL THIS VERSION OF THE MAKEOVER IS MUCH MORE UPTEMPO THAN THE 2006 VERSION. EXCELLENT PRODUCTION FROM MS. JODY WATLEY SO IF ELECTRONIC SOUL IS WHAT YOUR INTO. THE MAKEOVER IS A MUST HAVE."
