Jody Watley and Mark De Clive Lowe are busy people. Between winning herself a Grammy and writing more than a dozen hit albums, Jody has collaborated with the likes of David Morales , 4Hero and Masters at Work. Mark meanwhile has quietly been producing some of the world’s finest electronic, with Gilles Peterson labelling him “the man behind a million great tunes”, so it was inevitable that these two musical masterminds would meet sooner rather than later.
That time has now come with the release of ‘Tonight’s the Night’, which has shot straight to the top stop on Traxsource’s download chart. We caught up with both Jody and Mark to discuss the record, each other and collaborations past, present and future…
Tell us about how the collaboration on ‘Tonight’s the Night’ came about…
Mark - I'd done a remix of 'Midnight Lounge' for Jody's 'The Makeover' project…that was the first time we'd collaborated after we 'met' over Myspace (back in those days!). The remix turned out great and we wanted to follow that up with another collaboration.
Jody - Mark started sending incredible tracks. I loved the music for what became 'Tonight's the Night' and wrote lyrics while stuck in traffic. Fortunately and much to my relief, Mark liked what I'd come up with. The first time we met face to face was when we did the vocal session.
