I just got done listening to Grace Jones' new album "Hurricane".

WHOA!

Just WHOA!

Admittedly, I went into it with somewhat low expectations because her last album nineteen years ago left me rather cold. At the age of 60 Ms. Grace has released an album that is not only brilliant but career defining. Just as good as Warm Leatherette and ( Read more... )

Im really,really dying to hear this album.

As well you should be! What's stopping you?

I'm a friend of scream4noreason's (well, an LJ friend; we've never crossed paths) - which is how I found your LJ.

You've seen "Corporate Cannibal", right?

That's the only other track I'd heard off the album - paired with "I'm Crying", now I have to have this album.

Her voice is both velvet and a razor's edge. Astounding that she's only 5 years younger than my MOTHER.

Thanks for posting this!

Corporate Cannibal, in my opinion, is probably the weakest track on this album. This is seriously THE SHIT!! LOL

Thanks for commenting. Nice to meet you.

I'll pass this along to Caleb - he'll be so excited.

I'm sure he'll love this record if he's already a fan. This is vintage Grace.

I do NOT illegally download. Obviously, it's something that is killing my industry. While Bandit pointed me in the right direction to get it from an English site, I no longer have an active credit card (damn this economy and the forces that are killing my industry. I justified dowonloading this because I would definitely buy it when released anyhow. Not to mention I would push it at a retail level anyhow. Soooo good!

Indeed. They have created all sorts of problems.

I've had customers asking for the new Aretha Franklin Christmas album for two months yet it had not been solicited in my new release books. I just found out yesterday that apparently it's a Barnes & Noble exclusive. What the fuck?

yay!! i'm glad you love it too. I've been listening to it like crazy. It's stellar - sounds like vintage Grace.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I cannot believe it's not getting a US release yet.
