Grace Jones: Warm Leatherette

2 June 1980 · 47 YEARS

Warm Leatherette

Grace Jones

Tracking in the Bahamas at Compass Point, the sessions utilized the rhythm section of Sly and Robbie. The result is a cold, reggae-inflected departure from traditional dance floor norms.

Jones adopts a detached vocal style that redefines how she approaches a song. This work captures a clear move away from glitter toward a sharper, post-punk sensibility.
