Grace Jones

The Profile

Jamaican singer, model, and actress who rose from late‑70s disco (Portfolio, Fame, Muse) to the Compass Point sound of Warm Leatherette and Nightclubbing, scoring iconic tracks like Pull Up to the Bumper, I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango), and Slave to the Rhythm. Returned in 2008 with Hurricane.

Key collaborators and shapers include Chris Blackwell, Sly & Robbie, Jean‑Paul Goude, Trevor Horn, Tricky, Brian Eno, and Tony Allen. Recorded seminal work in Nassau, Bahamas. Recognized as an androgynous, post‑modern pop icon with a formidable stage presence.

Five DeBaser reviews track Grace Jones from glittering disco origins to Compass Point mastery and a fierce late‑career return. Nightclubbing is hailed as a genre-blending landmark; Portfolio gets a warm, balanced reassessment. Bulletproof Heart is defended as underrated. Across the board she’s framed as an androgynous, post‑modern pop icon.
