I hadn’t heard any of Grace Jones’ music until about a month ago. That’s a shame since it’s right up my alley. In addition to being a fashion and queer icon, she can also turn out some bangers.

Nightclubbing (the album) has a weird, almost droning quality throughout and there’s something weirdly creepy about Grace Jones’s voice. But it works.

It’s a real vibes album.
