Grace Jones - Island Life

Even if you've never heard a note of the music, the cover of Island Life—shot by Jean-Paul Goude—is one of the most iconic images in pop culture history. Thankfully, the music is just as striking. This compilation gathers the best of Grace Jones' groundbreaking work at Compass Point Studios, blending reggae, new wave, and post-disco into an icy, impenetrable, and impossibly chic groove. Tracks like 'Pull Up to the Bumper' and 'Slave to the Rhythm' feature some of the tightest, most brilliant rhythm sections ever laid to tape. Spinning this record is an immediate injection of pure, unfiltered cool.
