WOW

Review Score: (10/10)
I remember the first time I heard this cd all the way through. The blend of RnB, Reggae, New Wave, Rock and Balladry was simply MIND BLOWING. Little wonder the British music magazine NME named this the best album of the year when originally released. Grace Jones posses an incredibly versatile voice, and is perhaps one of the most under rated performers of my generation. Her tender singing on the emotional ballad "I've Done It Again" is breath taking, and is in stark contrast to the menacing vocals in the New Wave-ish cover of the Police song "Demolition Man". It's ALL GOOD here, people. Every song is a winner. The production is immaculate ( courtesy of the one and only, and sadly missed, Alex Sadkin ) and the band ( lead by the legendary rhythm section Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare ) is untouchable. The prefect blend of styles, the production and performance, both vocal and instrumental, the packaging ( that cover photo !!!! ) - it all adds up to one of the finest albums of the Eighties, if not of all time. BOTTOM LINE - If you like Grace Jones, you MUST have this cd in your collection, and you are "Grace-curious" this is the best place to start.
