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 Gang, Brian Eno, Tricky and Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen, also of The Good, The Bad & The Queen. It's scheduled for release this October, when Jones will be headlining the Secret Garden Party; she made a headlining return to the Meltdown Festival, curated this year by Massive Attack. And with a pop landscape populated more than ever before by style icons lacking both style and iconic stature, the comeback of a performer possessing both in abundance, along with bigger balls than most boy-bands, is a welcome prospect indeed.

All I want to do is listen to this again, then Mezzanine, and light up a erm cigarette ;)
I love it. Wild video and good theme for a song.
I think she is making a comeback. I've met some peeps in their mid-20's and they're all about listening to her old records. Maybe it's her time now. That video is incredible as is the music. Maybe we'll see Conan Part 3! ;)
God, Yeah, Forgot about her being in Conan! LOL!
Saw her play over 10 years ago at a New Year's Eve party in a NYC nigthclub - she tore the house down - and people were almost crushed trying to leave the place (when it was properly over ... ) that the police and fire dept. was called in to restore order... it was out of hand... She was scary good!
Most people have bigger balls than the boy bands so that's not really saying much but I get what you're saying. She's scaring me w/this vid! It's creepy yet great.
I remember the first time I saw one of her videos and how attracted I was to her. I always felt she was ahead of her time
That was wicked!!!!!!
That was hot. With an album lineup like that, this could be a good album.
