Album Review
By all means a phenomenal pop album that hit number nine on the black albums chart and crossed over to penetrate the pop charts at number 32, Nightclubbing saw Grace Jones working once again with Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, and the remainder of the Compass Point team. Nightclubbing also continues Jones' tradition of picking excellent songs to reinterpret. This time out, the Police's "Demolition Man," Bill Withers' "Use Me," and Iggy Pop's "Nightclubbing" receive radical reinterpretations; "Nightclubbing" is glacial in both tempo and lack of warmth, while both "Use Me" and "Demolition Man" fit perfectly into Jones' lyrical scheme. Speaking of a lyrical scheme, "Pull Up to the Bumper" (number five black singles, number two club play) is so riddled with naughty double entendres — or is it just about parallel parking? — that it renders Musique's "In the Bush" as daring as Paul Anka's "Puppy Love." Drive it in between what, Grace? It's not just lyrics that make the song stick out; jingling spirals of rhythm guitar and a simplistic, squelching, mid-tempo rhythm make the song effective, even without considering Jones' presence. Sly & Robbie provide ideal backdrops for Jones yet again, casting a brisk but not bristly sheen over buoyant structures. Never before and never since has a precisely chipped block of ore been so seductive.
Customer Reviews
Put some Grace in yo face
One of the very first artists i remember listening to back when i was about 14 was Grace Jones, My Uncle from Manhattan always played the Nightclubbing record and some of her others (yes only vinyl back then). Nightclubbing started my love for her music so i got just about everything she put out to present day. Grace has such an exotic, mysterious and cutting edge sound. Her music was always ahead of its time and will always be funky. I'm glad its part of iTunes so younger generations can experience her!
One of My Favorite Albums
I have been a fan of Grace Jones' music for years. This album is easily her best. It marks a clean breakway from earlier disco past with a rather ahead-of-its-time introduciton of (what most would consider) "World Music". Sure, she does the dance thing on "Pull Up to the Bumper" & "Feel Up", but Jones' unusual style is the perfect match for "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)" & "Walking In the Rain". Both "Use Me" and her rendition of "Demolition Man" are rock like only Ms Jones can do. If you decide to pick up this album, or a few tracks, be certain to also check out "Warm Leatherette", which is another Grace Jones must-have. Few people realise that Grace Jones even had albums or sang, thinking her more of a model or just famous for fame's sake, but her late 70's early 80's albums' influences are still there today.
Trip the Light Fantastic!!
Grace is as cool as they come. PLAY IT LOUD and shine in the night. Love it.
