I just got done listening to Grace Jones' new album "Hurricane".
WHOA!
Just WHOA!
Admittedly, I went into it with somewhat low expectations because her last album nineteen years ago left me rather cold. At the age of 60 Ms. Grace has released an album that is not only brilliant but career defining. Just as good as Warm Leatherette and Nightclubbing. Sly and Robbie are back in the fold (thankfully) and Brian Eno contributes. Bjork would be jealous of the ending track "Devil In My Life".
Sadly, it is only available in Europe at the moment because the American musical situation is ridiculous. With Hurricane Grace Jones proves that she is just that, a force of nature, and just one snarl from her can send these young tarts ruling the airwaves running for cover.
Here's a taste...
