Larger Than Life is the second album by American pop singer Jody Watley, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music).
All tracks written by André Cymone and Jody Watley, except where noted.
"Cymone remains as slickly up to the minute as ever," observed Q's 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 an tune to match that first hit; more likely she thinks looking angry makes her sexy."
Following the success of the Billboard chart hit singles, "Real Love" and "Friends", Watley embarked on a U.S. summer tour to support her hit album, Larger Than Life.
