The Saturday Night Experience also foreshadowed the fully club-friendly sounds that Watley would embrace on subsequent full-length releases.In 2002, a limited edition version of The Saturday Night Experience, dubbed The Saturday Night Experience EP, was sold exclusively through Watley's own official website. Packaged in a paper sleeve, the limited pressing contained remixes of "Timeless" and Pure Joy".

The Makeover (2006; International edition, 2009)


The Makeover is Jody Watley's ninth studio and so far last studio album. It was originally released on August 8, 2006 and it was re-released in 2009 as an international edition with a somewhat altered tracklist. Watley recruited a diverse group of contemporary dance and electronica producers for the project, among them King Britt, 4hero and DJ Spinna. The album's vintage aesthetic, which saw her take the old and remake it as new, was likely foretold in Watley's updating of her signature classic, "Looking for a New Love", in 2005. As per the title, The Makeover contained newly recorded (and remixed) versions of some of Watley's signature classics like "Don't You Want Me" and "Friends" (re-dubbed "Friendz"), as well as new material. Additionally, Watley paid tribute to musical influences like Diana Ross, Chic and Karen Carpenter on the covers "Love Hangover", "I Want Your Love" and a medley of the Carpenters' songs, respectively. The singles released from this album were: Her 1984 Madonna hit cover version Borderline (#2 U.S. Dance charts), I Want Your Love (#1 U.S. Dance charts), and A Beautiful Life (#5 U.S. Dance charts).
