You won't hear me laughing, as I terminate your day
You can't trace my footsteps, as I walk the other way
My youth must be blamed for my lack of knowledge surrounding the legendary Grace Jones; unbeknownst to me I had been a sporadic admirerer of her work over the years, occassionaly stumbling upon a song here and there and wondering, "Whose body does this voice, this voice that shakes my bones, come from?"
19 years after releasing her last record, Ms. Jones is preparing to release Hurricane and with it comes it's mesmerizing first single, "Corporate Cannibal"; nobody, absolutly nobody does music, does art, like this anymore. After educating myself thanks to YouTube and Wiki I got a crash course this morning; a lifetime, a career in three hours.
Those three hours are going to easily become the rest of my life...
If your youth has kept this marvel from your door, hear me knocking.
If time has swept her from your memory, refresh.
All the others, I envy.
Beauty. Below.
