Sometimes an artist/producer relationship is meant to be. So after Sly And Robbie Grace Jones went for none other then Trevor Horn-80's sound painter extrondinaire. The results?Well

'Slave To The Rhythm' is unlike anything Grace Jones had done before. Many of the songs are an involved,dancable song cycle. Musically it all works but as it's function this CD is Grace Jones' biography set to music. The songs are constructed into and around an interview with Grace Jones about her life and career experiences-one of the the most compelling tracks here is "The Frog And The Princess".As pure music "Ladies & Gentleman-Miss Grace Jones" and the title track are superb. Just for a soni sound attack "Operattack" fits the bill with harsh echos of distored vocals and sound clippings. Although it contains some recognizable pop music such as the title song and "Fasion Show" this functions more as a whole-a biographical sound collage with a strong pop music underpinning. It is part of what Trevor Horn did so well and it is fit perfectly to Grace Jones' persona and musical sense. The perfect musical/audio visualization of an artist and their sense of self expression.
