by GRAMMY® winner Jody Watley
Featured Billboard Multi-Chart Top 10 Hits
“Real Love”
“Friends” (ft. Eric B. & Rakim *groundbreaker)
“Everything”
Along with the breezy 4th single “Precious Love”
Fashion forward visuals, a groundbreaking collaboration “Friends” ft Eric B & Rakim and one of MTV’s most nominated videos “Real Love” directed by David Fincher – the concept of “Larger Than Life” was the mindset of going big for your dreams – make it memorable – make it big! Some of my favorite non singles are “Something New” “For Loves Sake” “Once You Leave” .. proud of the entire album! Loved the tour as well, despite efforts behind the scenes to undermine and sabotage it – saving that for my memoir.
Happy Anniversary and here’s to always making life memorable, having a vision for yourself, making goals and exceeding expectations.

The ultimate award – reward is to live your life on your terms and do what makes you happy. Ignore the chatter, the naysayers – always believe in yourself and that God and the universe will find a way. That said – this night will always be very sweet and monumental in my journey.
“Looking For A New Love” was also nominated that night – what a debut. I talked about my vintage dress (thrift store) paired with the custom biker jacket on The Wendy Williams Show last week and how I always rep being true to myself as we’ll being a style influencer showing you don’t have to spend a fortune to have style and look nice.
