Jody Watley – Some Kind Of Lover (US 7″ Single)

READER REQUEST

“Some Kind of Lover” was the fourth single from Jody Watley‘s self-titled debut, Jody Watley. It was Jody’s third top 10 pop single from the album, and third number-one of the US dance chart, though the single found huge success in America, outside the US the single only reached number 81 on the UK charts.

The single advanced into the top 40 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart during the week of February 27, 1988, finally stalling at #10 the week of April 16, 1988. “Some Kind of Lover” kept Watley in the Top 20 of the singles chart for six weeks.

In 1988 the song was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards, for Best Female Video and Best New Artist in a Video, she also performed “Some Kind of Lover” at the award show that year.

The remix really brings out the best of the album version by adding some synth sounds which give it extra energy and make it more club oriented.

The 4:34 remix remained unavailable on CD until Watley’s “Greatest Hits” compilation was released in 1996.

The 4:34 single instrumental is to date only available on this US 7″ single and on a UK 10″ single.
