It’s always a joy to come to perform and share the love with everyone. I feel very blessed to have these opportunities. Billboard Live staff is fantastic as well which also makes everything go smoothly.

Leaving studio – gorgeous sun kissed day with Nate Smith and Rosero McCoy
WerK it. Jody Watley ft. SRL. — it’s a group thing..solo career still going strong just added another compelling element and creative extension with Rosero McCoy and Nate Allen Smith.
Listen..one of are more ambient thoughtful songs.. no need for everything to be shake your ass. We each bring something to this party and it’s a very rewarding process and collaboration.
— and having fun which is the best part for me and all of us.
Nate is quick .. I wish you could always see their exchanges, Rosero tries it but usually no match for the quick comebacks.

It’s very rewarding to see the acknowledgment of the impact of my debut.

A year ago today Nate Allen Smith, Rosero McCoy and I were out in the Mojave Desert, Death Valley filming our first music video for SlowDance. It was a very monumental moment in our new journey. I’ve put my money where my heart is and invested in us because I believe in what we’re doing. You can’t just talk the talk – you have to walk the walk. Investing in myself isn’t new since becoming independent with Avitone in 1995 which has entailed paying for recording, photography, marketing, staff and so on. Extending the business to include Shalamar Reloaded is a big picture look as artist and entrepreneur. Certainly, it’s not the common road at this juncture in my music and professional life but one of which I’m totally enjoying and believing it will pay off it other ways doing something that hasn’t really been done like this. After the release of this single and video, it was picked up for license by Spectra Music Group. We’re currently about to do a digital distribution deal with Universal Japan for Asia and something exciting just came up with regard to a possible deal for the UK. We are also in the midst of writing and recording the forthcoming “Bridges” with a new video for “The Mood” in the pipeline.
Some people want to stay stuck in what was, could have been..I’m not one of them. It’s awesome to create, make new goals and dreams. conquer obstacles, go out on a limb however one looks at it – now – today.
SlowDance is an in concert favorite by the way! It’s so cool to some of the couples accept our invitation and get up, put their phones down and come close.
We’d like to thank our growing new fan base and the media outlets who are showing us love by supporting what we are doing.

This is another fun video with a take on the new Shalamar Reloaded single and video “O.R.I.G.in.A.L”
Ironically in the past few days, fans have shared with me these posts heralding the jumbo hoop earring, the blend of eclectic style high and low fashion.. it’s been pointed out “they mention other artists who have followed the trend, trends you set – except the person who started it – you”..origins people, learn it! “What you mean you don’t know about my hoops!”
Read the Teen VOGUE Post: HERE – News Flash to the Teen VOGUE style writers – they’ve always been chic – and never left! I think it’s wonderful that the style endures generation to generation. To see them the Jody Watley Hoops -always makes me smile. Go girls – WerK!!
