Blending sophisticated dance-pop, funk, soul, and contemporary electronic grooves, Jody Watley’s The Dawn (Alex Di Ciò Remix)—originally written and produced by Watley and Mark de Clive-Lowe—showcases an artist, songwriter, and producer who continues to evolve while remaining true to her creative vision.
Released independently via her Avitone imprint on June 15, The Dawn (Alex Di Ciò Remix) continues to build impressive momentum in the UK. The single currently holds #6 on the Amazon Music UK Hot 100 Dance Releases chart—an outstanding achievement for an independent release in today’s highly competitive music landscape. Without the benefit of a major-label campaign or extensive media rollout, the song has earned its place through organic fan support, radio airplay, streaming, and the enduring connection Jody Watley has built with audiences around the world.
Adding to its momentum, THE DAWN is also among Jody Watley’s Top 10 most-streamed songs, sitting alongside many of her signature classics—a remarkable accomplishment for a brand-new release and further proof that her contemporary music continues to resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike.
For those just discovering Jody Watley’s current music, this is not a comeback—it’s a continuation.
From her groundbreaking GRAMMY Award-winning solo debut through decades of acclaimed independent releases, EPs, albums, and charting singles, Watley has consistently forged her own path. Her career reflects a rare combination of longevity, artistic independence, and a commitment to evolving creatively while staying true to her vision.
The momentum continues with the arrival of The Dawn (Alex Di Ciò Extended Mix) on July 15, delivering an expanded, club-ready interpretation of the acclaimed summer groove to all major digital platforms.
As Jody Watley says, “Let The Music Inspire.”
