The Story

OriginUnited StatesGenresoul, house musicLabelMCA Records, Atlantic Records, SOLAR Records

With a voice that effortlessly glides between soul and house, Jody Watley has crafted a signature sound that resonates through the decades. Emerging from the vibrant backdrop of "Soul Train," she lit up the stage as a dancer, setting the stage for her musical journey. After her stint with the groundbreaking R&B group Shalamar, known for hits like "The Second Time Around" and "A Night to Remember," Watley took flight as a solo artist. Her tracks, including "Looking for a New Love" and "Real Love," became anthems of empowerment and self-discovery. With a flair for reinvention, she continues to inspire, reminding us that the search for connection and joy is a timeless endeavor. So, whether you’re dancing to "Don't You Want Me" or reminiscing to "Everything," Watley’s music is the soundtrack to a vibrant life.
