After listening to this collection over the past week and various
cuts leaked during the late summer, I find Hurricane, the brand new
import from Grace Jones a standout recording and after 19 years
a welcome comeback of the year. A performance artists like no other,
Hurricane highlights the many moods of Grace Jones and reflects back
to her 80's dub-reggae brillance along side a futuristic Massive Attack
style that works perfectly for grace, it updates her sound, yet brings
back what made her so unique. Its a mature work with standout collaborations from veterans Sly & Robbie, Brian Eno, Tricky, and many
from 1980's gems Warm Leatherette and Nightclubbing. Warm, haunting, filled with soulful backup singing, menacing sounds but never boring,
its Grace's most important statement, stands proud along side Warm Leatherette, Nightlclubing, Living my Life and Slave to the Rhythm. Grace's vocals', both (singing and speaking) have matured into a nice
weathered instument, she is in full control of her voice and on Hurricane
she travels into new territories but is always intoxicating. Stand out
tracks, "This is"(life), "I'm crying my mother's tears", "Corporate Cannibal", "Devil in my life", "William's Blood", "Love you to life",
"Well, Well, Well", and mellow reggae dub vibe "Sunset, Sunrise"(a song
written by her son,) and the adventurous title track "Hurricane", with
Tricky on vocals. Theres not a bad track here, its much more reflective, haunting, tender, fierce and self assured yet mature, almost "adult" here and there "HURRICANE" should reach a larger audience around the world. This is one of the best of the year and Comeback of the Year. Still able
to shock and surprise and cast a spell on all who take the time to
check this collection out, Grace Jones is back!

2008 has truly been a year of comebacks for some music divas, first Donna Summer with her first album in 17 years "Crayons", then Labelle with their first album in over 30 years "Back to now". Now, presenting Grace Jones with "Hurricane", her first album in 19 years.
"Hurricane" comprises Trip hop-tinged Dub with Rock and electronic flourishes, think Massive Attack or Portishead dipping into Dub and you get the picture. Dark and atmospheric with deep (usually spoken) lyrics and some white noise in places. At just 9 tracks, there is no flab and everything is great really.
Standouts include the brilliant autobiographical "I'm crying (Mothers tears)" (this song is truly moving, a rare insight into the more sensitive side of Jones), "Corporate Cannibal" ("Pleased to meet you/pleased to eat you" she menacingly intones against an industrial backdrop of squealing guitars and buzzing effects), the Tricky produced stark yet breezy "Hurricane", the biographical "William's blood" (which ends with some strains of the hymn "Amazing Grace", a play on her name as well as the hymn I guess), the bouncy Reggae of "Well well well", and closing cut the piano-tinkled "Devil in my life".
Just as powerful as her eighties albums "Living my life" or "Nightclubbing" but more mellow. Proving she's still a force of nature at 60!!

Finally she`s back! Who would have guessed? And how!! She gives a sh.. for Timbaland or the way to the charts. She just made an album for her fans. And everyone who ever liked her will love this CD because it`s 100 % Grace Jones. She kept her style without being stuck in the 80ies. It`so wonderful to hear from her again and I really hope, we don`t have to wait another 19 years for the next album.

It's Grace!
What can anyone expect from Grace Jones but beauty and perfection. This CD is no exception. Glad to know Grace is still as innovative as she was in the 70s.
