Afternoon Aural: Grace Jones

We love Grace Jones. In fact, we're obsessed with everything about her– from her gender-bending looks to her two and a half octave spanning vocal range. Her new album, the first in 20 years, "Hurricane" came out at the end of last month and it's ohmygod-amazingly good. Above is the video for "Corporate Cannibal", which is suitably freaky– even if we prefer another "This Is" more. Its awesome opening line, "This is my voice, my weapon of choice", has been a mantra as of late.

Grace Jone is still the Ultimate "Bond Girl" in my book. Even if the particular movie she was is sucked. What can I say? she's fierce in everything she's done!
