Nightclubbing
Grace Jones · New Wave/Reggae/Funk
Cut at Chris Blackwell's Compass Point Studios in Nassau with the Jamaican rhythm section Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare anchoring the Compass Point All Stars, Grace Jones's fifth album fused reggae, dub, art-pop and funk into a cool, androgynous sound; its title track was a cover of Iggy Pop and David Bowie's song, and the striking Jean-Paul Goude cover painting became one of the era's most iconic images, cementing Jones's commercial breakthrough.
