The Healing by Jody Watley

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The Queen of Cool Jody Watley has released a new single today called "The Healing" and it is quite powerful, emotional, and inspirational. 


Jody wrote on her website about the song: "Something I wrote before the pandemic for Spring EP. The EP is delayed for now and I wrestled with releasing single or not but it’s timely and inspirational life message that is appropriate for where we are – Now." We are sure glad she did.




"The Healing" is a spoken word song, and it is the third in her career. You might remember her trailblazing 1993 single "When A Man Loves A Woman." It was very progressive at the time because it was song that mentioned the reality of AIDS. Jody also recorded new lyrics for two special remixes: "When A Man Loves A Man" and "When A Woman Loves A Woman." It was a bold move for a mainstream artist in 1993. Jody also had a second spoken-word song in 1999 called "Another Chapter." Here is the music video for "When A Man Loves A Woman" ...

Now, back to the song at hand. "The Healing" is just that. Jody's smooth vocals are calming and the subject matter at hand. Jody has released the single as the "RedTop Remix" and says the original version will be featured on her next EP. The RedTop Remix is offered up as a 6-minute mix, an instrumental, and a radio edit. The song was written by Jody Watley and Claude Lombard. It was produced by Jody Watley, Bill Coleman, and RedTop.

Wasn't that nice? Yes, it was. Now go out and purchase the single! We've added "The Healing" (RedTop Remix) Radio Edit to our 2020 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. You'll also hear Jody's song "Weigh On Me" with SRL on the playlist, too!




Cheers then,
—Davearama
