Jody Watley made a variety of TV appearances with a select number of interviews. During the promotions she said “Albums are no longer something I’m was interested in doing, due to short attention spans, and the reality of people not buying albums as much now with streaming unless it’s a younger demographic or hip hop, quality EP’s more appealing to me at this point.”
Flashback Friday: Jody Watley Takes Us To Paradise July 28, 2014 Review : Soulbounce
It’s been eight years since Jody Watley released an album’s worth of material, specifically 2006’s The Makeover.
