Looking For A New Love - Jody Watley - Cover: Julia Ross
By Robert Etoll Productions
This Jody Watley hit from the '80s captivated me with its infectious energy and groove, along with a catchy title that would be perfect for promoting products to commercial agencies. Co-produced with Redah, we recorded this version using funky guitars, Fender bass, synths, and drums. Julia Ross was our first choice for vocals, and she truly delivered, including all the background harmonies.
We opted for a stylish, animated lyric video to accompany this cover, enhancing its appeal even further.
