Rough Trade Essential

Grace Jones is a Jamaican singer, actress, and supermodel born on May 19, 1948 in Spanish Town, Jamaica. She began her career as a model in New York before transitioning into music. Known for her disco diva persona and striking visuals, Grace worked with renowned artists such as Tom Moulton and collaborated with reggae/new wave sound creators at Compass Point Studios. In addition to her artistic endeavors, she published an autobiography in 2015 that delves into her early childhood in Jamaica and addresses various rumors surrounding her life.
Grace Jones started off as a successful model in Paris during the 1970s. Her modeling career included working with influential designers and photographers of the time.
In addition to her modeling success, Grace ventured into the music industry while in Paris. Collaborating with notable musicians and producers, she developed a unique sound that blended reggae and new wave elements.

In a career of myriad highlights Nightclubbing remains the high water mark of Grace Jones's imperial years with Island Records. It is indisputably the album on which her musical legacy rests, and rightly considered one of the greatest albums of all time. A sophisticated melee of sound, blending post-punk cool with a hot Caribbean vibe and a catwalk Studio 54 sensibility, it's a perfect example of artist and musicians working in complete accord.

It contains the all-time Grace classics in "Pull Up To The Bumper", "Walking In The Rain", "Demolition Man" (written by Sting) and of course the Bowie / Iggy Pop-penned title track. There is magic in its every groove. In keeping with its reputation as one of the best sonically sounding albums of the '80s and for the first time since its debut on CD in 1987, Nightclubbing has been comprehensively remastered using the latest studio technology.
