WOW.That was gorgeous. There are few artists in this world who can carry a track built primarily on spoken word lyrics (aside from rappers, obviously)...Grace Jones is the greatest of them all.And how amazing does she look?!

Ok so Island isn't really the Island Records of old anymore, long since gobbled up by the corporate behemoth Universal, but 50 years is still 50 years. As such Chris Blackwell appointed the legendary rhythm section Sly & Robbie the task of assembling a Compass Point All Stars featuring Aswad, The I-Threes, Kid Creole, VV Brown, and Tichy Stryder.A great lineup but on the night each and everyone...

Grace Jones is ferocious. She is a frightening, feisty glamazon that seems to be ignoring the banality of the process known as aging with her bold, chiseled features and statuesque natural beauty. She is a style icon and a pop culture legend, entirely approachable in person and staggeringly intimidating on stage. Simply speaking, I just can't get enough. Her latest release is the appropriate...

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. In 1968 Harry Vanda and George Young's group The Easybeats had a massive global h...

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, alo...

This is inspired by a beautiful spring walk amongst the blooming trees and plants, while listening to Ms. Jones sing / attack the classic "La Vie en Rose" in wonderful, late 70s disco stylee. I confess a great love for this song - the extra long intro, the whispered, breathy French, the sparsity of it that gives way to the volcanic vocals. The entire rhythm and pulse of this song build to soni...

.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 pr...

Imagine my excitement when I was Estelle's tweet that GRACE JONES had just performed HURRICANE, SLAVE TO THE RHYHTM and PULL UP TO THE BUMPER at Oi Fashion Rocks in Brazil. Grace was paired up with Marc Jacobs at the event (nooo not like that! wouldn't that be something to talk about!) I wonder if she ever wears normal clothes? In my mind these outfits are just regular day wear for her!This vid...
