The amazing, dynamic and vivacious Grace Jones immediately conquered the pop scene with the same prowress she posessed 2 decades ago. Her most recent album release was 1989's Bulletproof Heart, but this Fall the avant-diva will return to the spotlight like a Hurricane! The buzz kicked into high gear last month when Jones' name appeared on the Massive Attack-curated Meltdown Festival lineup, alongside other Nasau artists Sly and Robbie... Her performance - which inclu... MORE

. Massive Attack have said on a number of occasions that they love Grace Jones; by the sound of this new track, she loves them as well. Last year, Jones made a sizeable impact when she appeared as Jarvis Cocker's guest at the Meltdown Festival at the Royal Festival Hall, singing "Trust In Me"; since then, she has completed a new album, Hurricane, recorded with her on/off beau, techno producer Ivor Guest, with a session crew that includes Sly & Robbie's Taxi Ga...

It’s a pub quiz starter for 10: Explain the connection between Grace Jones and AC/DC. For an extra 5 points, how do we connect David Bowie? Shall we finish early and hit the bar? Then explain the Mad Max connection. The core, the nexus, the hub for the spokes, is an Australian music dynasty called Vanda and Young.

Woke up needing to hear this.
Many years ago in a faraway part of south east London, while the girls we lived with were busy getting ready to go out, me and my friend Barry used to dance around the living room, safe in the knowledge that we wouldn't be disturbed. Holiday by Madonna was a big favourite. So was this...
Then we were set.

I've been inundating myself with Grace's 80s output for DAYS now. When I was 12, I was hesitant to purchase her albums knowing they had so many covers on them, but she converted me. I lost the snobby singer/songwriter bullshit and focused on the interpretations, which were stylistic and stellar. I can honestly say that I don't even think about the Police when someone mentions "Demolition Man." Especially when coupled with the imagery from Grace's One Man Show. Why is that ... MORE

We don't hear too much from Grace Jones any more. Musically, she hadn't been very interesting for a while and wasn't much of a presence on late-night talk shows any more when compilation album after compilation album started being dumped on the market several years ago. What these comps always had in common was a heavy focus on her Chris Blackwell years, what I think of as her middle period, and a near-absence of Tom Moulton-produced tracks from the first 3rd of her career...

Grace Jones kinda scared people back in the 80s. Sure Bowie was androgynous at times, but Grace, what f*cking planet did she drop in from? Her album "Nightclubbing" touched on many styles - reggae, new wave, disco, and she even did the chanteuse thing pretty well too. This is her live cover version of "Demolition Man" by The Police, and the performance is just SPELLBINDING. The music may be a little tough to get into, but the artistry and imagery are undeniable. There just... MORE
