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.
