Background

The Saturday Night Experience Volume 1 found Watley experimenting more freely with underground electronic styles like deep house, drum n bass, trip hop and downtempo. Originally intended as an EP[1] (hence the subtitling: "with Jody Watley"), the recording's popularity with fans caused Watley to declare it a full-length album proper.

Watley's current new material also foreshadowed the fully club-friendly sounds that Watley would embrace on subsequent full-length releases.[2] In 2002, a North America 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".
