Avant Garde, fun, quirky, visionary and unapologetic has always been characteristics that I’ve admired about Grace Jones. She has always been one of my Icons, from her hairstyles to the way she dresses, to even the way she giggles uncontrollably like a teenager in interviews. She is who she is: a living work of art.

I’ve stopped buying Cd’s but Hurricane” is one record that will be worth the plunge back into a dried up buying habit. I’ve already heard two songs form the Album, “Williams Blood” and “Corporate Cannibal” and it seems like its not been over 20 years since she put out the hit album Night Clubbing. She has done what many artist have failed to do over the years: remain true to herself.

I wish I had tapped her appearance her on French TV of William’s Blood. She flashed the crowd in latex underwear, spoke french, kissed a woman guest and it was all fabulous.
Just like only Grace Jones can.

If you buy only one album this year, let it be something that’s worth it, think about getting Hurricane.
