#1 of 2013

Dear Poptastic Readers,

#1 in our Top Songs of 2013 is “Nightlife” by Jody Watley. You can click on the song title to see what Poptastic Confessions had to say about it when it came out.




This feel-good song is just so fabulous! It is inspiring and uplifting. It makes you want to dance. It is so full of energy and just empowers you to be free to be yourself. That is why it is our #1 favourite song of the year. Jody filmed a video for the song, but before it could be edited and released, she gave us this lyric video with the original version of the song.


January 8, 2014 Update: Jody just released the video and it is for the Dave Doyle Remix, which features Gerald Brown (from her former group Shalamar) singing the second verse. The video is FABulous! Check it out ...




Jody Watley definitely deserves the #1 spot. She is very approachable on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Jody runs her own accounts and sometimes she has to deal with the disrespectful fans. That part is a shame. But she is very generous and real to her lovely fans. More power to her, we say!

Jody has featured Poptastic Confessions on her website and even mentioned Davearama by name! WOW! A highlight this year was seeing Jody live in concert and she recognized Dave from Twitter. It was a dream come true for him, who has been listening to Jody’s music since he was 17 and living in a small town in Indiana. If you want your dreams to come true, make them happen. Jody has definitely inspired us all these years and even today.

Davearama would like to add: "I wish I could accurately describe how much Jody's music has meant in my life. Yes, mostly her first three solo albums ... they were the soundtrack to my life back then. It helped me from a place of being an awkward teen to help me be comfortable in my own skin. Thank you for the music, Jody Watley! It means so very much to me."

Jody's next album is called Paradise and it will be out in 2014. We can't wait! Until then, there are glorious remixes of "Nightlife."


“Nightlife” is available on iTunes. Don’t delay, buy it today.



Cheers then,
—The Poptastic Confessions Collective
