Larger Than Life

Larger Than Life is the second studio album by American singer Jody Watley, released by MCA Records on March 27, 1989. Reception "André Cymone remains as slickly up to the minute as ever," observed Qs Mark Cooper, "filling his enormous rhythm sound with hip-hop references… Occasionally Watley lets the pose slip and slips into a passively sensuous ballad like 'Everything', but mostly she keeps acting stroppy. Perhaps she's annoyed at the lack of any tune to match that first hit; more likely she thinks looking angry makes her sexy." Track listingCD bonus track – Track 13.
