Such a great song. The Libertango in parentheses is because they use elements of the tune called Libertango by Astor Piazolla. This song is all mood, who knew dub, tango and dark cabaret went so well together!
Fantastic song by the very Fantastic Grace Jones. There’s no one else like her! Hope’ll checkout all her albums since Nightclubbing to the last magnificent ‘Hurricane’ featuring ‘Williams Blood’.
My favorite Grace Jones song 🔥 it encapsulates you. It’s very atmospheric and makes me want to be on vacation late at night walking the streets of Paris or Italy or Spain even having the time of my life.
Another signature tune here, coupled with iconic pictures of Grace playing an accordion. Though I'm not sure she really played. According to Wikipedia it's about the darker side of Parisian nightlife, the French lyrics saying: "What are you looking for? To meet death? Who do you think you are? You hate life too." and "In his room, Joël and his suitcase. A look at his clothes, on the walls, photos... No regrets, no melodrama. The door is slammed, Joël is gone." It all fits so perfectly.
Oh I love this (ok, I love all this album I know!). Grace spent many years living and working as a model in Paris, where she met Jean Paul Goude, so the Parisian vibes came from her life (she also had covered La Vie En Rose on a previous album). I've always felt it was abut someone living a dangerous, careless and promiscuous life who is stalked by death. It gives me "Looking for Mr. Goodar" vibes (a film where a woman played by Diane Keaton spends her nights trawling bars and picking up men who gets murdered ). It's even darker when you consider that around the time it was released, a new disease was starting to affect the gay community, so dancing in bars and restaurants, and going home with anyone who wants" really was dicing with death. Fabulous atmosphere, Grace sounding imperious and contemptuous, what's not to love.
Hi, my older brother bought this album when it came out, I was 11 yes old, it's my fav song on the album, my brother is 8 years older than me. He listened to Queen, Jean Michel Jarre, and some UK funk music that people in the US might not recognize, even Abba, he liked Under Attack, and Enya too.

She created her own niche. A little reggae, a little this a little that...
