I love Grace Jones. She’s everywhere right now and she’s releasing a new album in November, Hurricane - it’s her first studio album to be released in 19 years. She’s also on the cover of Dazed & Confused November issue with an art special in a 12-page visual collaboration with photographer Chris Cunningham.
Grace Jones has been a style icon for almost 3 decades. I’ve always been in awe of Grace Jones. There are very few people – artists that I would be excited & nervous to meet – I think Grace Jones would be one of them. First of all I love her voice, it’s so distinct and highly stylized; she has a range of 2 1/2 octaves. And her face, it’s just so beautiful and her skin is so black and she has such perfect skin. Would you believe she’s 60?
Grace Jones is performing on January 27th & 28th at The Roundhouse in London.
