Can't wait for this!! www.nypost.com/seven/11062008/gossip/pagesix/comeback_kid_137255.htmNovember 6, 2008 -- JODY Watley thinks only bad girls make this column, so we're going to prove her wrong. The '80s pop star - who had a smash hit with "Looking for a New Love" - tells public relations man Hal Lifson: "I'm very boring - no scandal, no arrests, no drugs, no sex tape, no famous boyfriend, no adoptions in the works - nada! Something [must] be Post-worthy!" Yes, there is. Watley, now 49, has a hot dance tune, "A Beautiful Life," on the Billboard charts and is readying a new CD, "Chameleon," for February release.

I'm looking forward to this. It's been a long time since she put out a regular album and not just these remixes and remakes.

Yep. "Midnight Lounge" was fantastic.
The first single from "Chameleon" is supposed to be titled "Candlelight".

I think she's still in Japan for a couple of concert dates.
I'm still trying to find out the release date for "Chameleon".

Jody is apparently back in the studio and recording the finishing touches for 'Chameleon'. This album has been 4 years in the making....

Sadly, I'm not impressed with "Nightlife", either. :(
Hopefully the rest of the album delivers....

WS over Rakim? Thank goodness that didn't happen. I wasn't so sure about Rakim on the song, but the results were amazing. He added that edge that fit with the song's theme.

"Friends" was a trailblazer of a track.

From jodywatley.net:
“Paradise” is in bloom and finally completed. The EP is being mastered this week by Steve Hall of Futuredisc Systems, as well as the booklet design being finalized with Ray Easmon. I’ll be previewing the “Sanctuary (Raregrooves Mix)” in the days to come via Soulpersona and Soundcloud. If you’re just getting familiar with “Paradise”, the first single was “Nightlife” which went Top 5 in the UK Urban and Commercial Pop. “Nightlife” features original Shalamar male lead Gerald Brown (“Take That To The Bank”) for a full circle disco soul moment. In America, the single went to #19 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play. Read press about the project here including (Yahoo Music, Ebony, Uptown, Wax Poetics and more).

The album cover is not flattering. She looks like she's in her 70s. She does not look that old.

Clearly her visual reference is a Diane Ross drag queen. Not a good look, Jody. As Exhibit A, I present the lovely Michelle Ross:
