L.I.F.E.S.T.Y.L.E.
Jody Watley's 2nd release is in my oppinion, her most powerful and consistant albums, solidifiying her as the grand diva extrodinaire. "Larger than Life" has Jody in true form, singin' about the things we all dream of, Love, Money and Hapiness. Things we are not gonna give up for any man tryin' to play us. This cd is perfect for strong black females and gay men if that makes any sense. You can play the cd from start to finish and relate to every song in some way. The production value is suberb, it's recorded loud so you can blast out every emotion as you drive along the coast while the sun is setting, hopefully getting ready for a romantic interlude with a hot man. My fave tracks are Real Luv, Friendz, Everything, What u Gonna Do 4 Me, Come N2 My World, Something New, hey practically the whole cd! Just like Jody says, "gotta have the real thing" and "Larger Than Life" is it.
Not as big as her self-titled debut, but arguably as good
After a huge blitz of success with her self-titled 1987 debut album, Jody Watley had much to live up to with her next album. This one is arguably just as good, spawning huge hits with "Real Love", "Friends", and "Everything". The latter is a beautiful, slightly uptempo ballad and the other two are two of the most bouncy, perky examples of dance pop in the 80s. "Friends" also contains one of the best instances ever of the often-risky practice of collaborating vocally with rappers, featuring a brilliant solo by legendary MC Rakim (of Eric B & Rakim fame).
Ahead of her time!
Jody has sustained an impressive career and this CD in some ways solidified her reputation as a solo artist. From soul train, Shalamar, Solo Artist to underground club & drum and bass. She is the epitome of a pop/soul star without the overexposure. She is and always will be one of my favorite dance artist. She & Shalamar ROCKED THE EIGHTIES! Glad to know she is still making hits: last August 2008 MAKEOVER.
