Jody Watley – “Renderings” The Alex Di Ciò Remixes Top 5
Jody Watley’s “Renderings” The Alex Di Ciò Remixes grooves its way into the UK Soul Chart with a #4 position on chart ending December 19, 2021. With standout soulful house uptempo cuts “Whenever” “Not A Single Day Goes By” “A Beautiful Life” receiving heavy play and currently also at #1 on the Sweet Rhythms Chart. It’s a nice way to close out 2021. The reason for music is not charts and awards – however it’s very nice to see the continued support.
Jody Watley ‘Renderings’ goes to Number 1 featuring singles “Not A Single Day Goes By’ and “Whenever”. Thanks so much to all of the UK Soul radio DJ’s – especially those on Solar Radio where “Renderings” is in heavy rotation and tops their Sweet Rhythms Chart at Number 1! “Renderings’ also made into the overall Top 20 at 17 on the UK Soul Chart.
America is focused on trap and hip-hop commercially however, there’s a big world out there and the UK radio has always embraced veteran artists who continue to release quality music along with respect for legacy artists as well.
Massive thanks as well to Alex Di Ciò for his unyielding passion and support for my music and our collaborations, to my co-writers Rodney Lee & Draks Themo (Not A Single Day Goes By), along with Shawn West for his art which really inspired me to do this project to showcase it along with the music and remixes. Music and Art -Wattage!
The U.K. soul radio support continues to be very supportive of my contemporary releases and collaborations with Alex Di Ciò – thanks to everyone supporting by downloading, streaming, and adding to your personal playlists.

Really appreciate the early support of U.K. Soul radio and music blogs supporting independent artists. Special thank you to Alex Di Cio’ who really nudged me with his remixes and encouragement.
Thank you to those of you downloading, listening, playlisting and sharing with your friends.
This is quality music without the machine, industry gate keepers or corporate partners – as I’ve been doing since 95.
I’m not happy to see someone at the distribution company The Orchard misspelled by name so for the moment it’s under Jodi Watley and not Jody Watley until it’s fixed, that includes Spotify that’s how you’ll find it.
“The Mood” Jody Watley and SRL (Alex Di Cio’ Extended Mix) is included on a rich and soulful Top 100 with a range of new and fellow heritage artists with new music; Toni Braxton, Peabo Bryson, Will Downing.
In America R&B has morphed into Hip-Hop in terms of commercial support on radio and with younger fans. Thankfully, the U.K. Soul Chart is strictly as it says – Soul.
