Singer Jody Watley recently covered the timeless Madonna classic, "Borderline". Watley covered the song as part of her forthcoming musical release, The Makeover.

Jody Watley's cover parallels her evolution as an artist – her arrival as an ambient/electronic soul musician in recent years, if you will. Watley's decidedly more loungy reading of the seminal Madonna tune is sure to inspire debate among the fans of both artists, many of whom probably never imagined that the song could be re-interpreted in such a sensual fashion. Indeed, Watley's sultry vocals imbue the somewhat angry (and at times – pleading) Madonna track with an undeniable sexiness.

Readers, contributors and whomever else comes by Aria from time to time — we have a new banner. Our new banner was designed by visual artist and photographer, Scott Schulz.

I officially changed the look of Aria several months ago, but something was missing — I wanted a really nice sign and/or banner that said everything in a glance and Scott achieved that in a relatively short time. If I may be so bold — Scott did an EXCELLENT job! From all of us here at Aria — thanks Scott!
