Album Review
Basically, this Grace Jones entry in the Millennium Collection series is a one-disc version of Private Life: The Compass Point Sessions with "La Vie en Rose" added as representation of her early disco years. The Compass Point years were great, with Sly & Robbie providing the groovy reggae backbeat and Jones supplying the European iciness. The cosmopolitan and paranoid versions of Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug," the Normal's "Warm Leatherette," and the Pretenders' "Private Life" are all excellent. Although the collection somehow leaves off her signature tune, "Slave to the Rhythm," the tunes written by Grace and friends are just as good, especially the widely sampled "My Jamaican Guy." If the compilers had included the few good singles from Jones' post-Island period it would have made the collection all the more valuable, but there's still a lot of great music here.
Customer Reviews
Eureka, You've Found It!!!
Boys, La Vie En Rose is the stellar smooth jam that you've heard playing at the bars and in Diesel. Download and Congrats!!!
Stunning
Absolutely sensational, you can't help but be completely subsumed by her. In fact she is the only other artist to even compare to the greatest of all time... Annie Lennox. If only they would duet...
La Vie en Rose
Eureka! I knew that Shyne's Bonnie and Shyne contained a sample that I'd known, but just could not figure out what it was. I downloaded La Vie en Rose and there it is! Shyne's Bonnie and Shyne, somewhat altered, but check it out, the sample is there. I love it when I can decipher the classics in newer, more recent music... Music, it's the gift that keeps on giving!
