Grace Jones is back.
I have a new found respect for this woman. Anybody that can remain relevant for over 30 years tends to have that impact on me. She is beyond being a fashion icon, musician, actress, a muse for others. She is all of these.

MP3: William's Blood (ysi)
Torn between her religious upbringing on her father's side and the more free spirited side of her mother's (née Williams) the song explores her feelings growing up.
Here is a video for another track off of Hurricane, Corporate Cannibal.
Jones recently performed at a private party for Audi during Art Basel this year on Miami Beach (Audi was one of the main sponsors for Design Miami). I have forgiven my friend for not getting me in.
Oh and the artwork for the album is a photoshoot she Collaborated with Tom Hingston Studio, to explore the idea of a popstar as a visual commodity. They created life-size versions of Jones made out of chocolate!

Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
- Grace Jones
I'll admit it, she scared me when I was little.
