I was always a Grace Jones fan -- both because of her persona and because the music on her albums generally had pretty high production values and she worked with producers who took her outside of a standardized format and let her explore and record various genres of music. This CD provides an overview of several of her more well-known songs from the 80's and 90's -- Warm Leatherette is a personal favorite, as is her classic remake of Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug" -- the CD opens with her early venture into dance club territory with a song that at the time was fairly obscure to the modern age -- "La Vien Rose", her tribute to Edith Piaf, who she probably discovered and developed an interest in during her days modeling and living in Paris. It also has some good bass-heavy reggae covers and kitschy lyric play.
These 20th Century Masters Collections of various artists are sometimes just bland ensembles of greatest hits -- but every once in awhile you score one by an artist who the CD provides a good spectrum of music -- and this is one of those.
