Premiere: Grace Jones - Me! I Disconnect From You (Radio Edit)
The 1981 album Nightclubbing by Grace Jones has become iconic for its Jean-Paul Goude artwork and perfect blend of fire and ice musically. It's also her best seller. It was the second of her legendary Compass Point trilogy and truly cemented her then new look and sound. Up until 1980 Grace was known as a disco artist, but with the harder image came her new wave inspired era propelling her into the stratosphere of true badassness. The whole album is being released on April 28th as a deluxe set in various formats containing 12", b-sides and two until now unreleased tracks from the Bahamas recording sessions. Her Gary Numan and Tubeway Army cover Me! I Disconnect From You has until today been hidden away for over 30 years. Wow! Her version replaces the icy production of the original with a flowing reggae beat and a tweeting bird. If this flawless track was stored away, imagine what else is lurking in the Island Records vaults! The mind races to say the least. This is the radio and the album version will add two more minutes of goodness. If You Wanna Be My Lover is the second previously unreleased track we're gonna get to hear and we cannot wait! Listen below! Thoughts? Until then, listen to the whole '81 released album here.
