Grace Jones albums are like a box of chocolate.  You never know what you are going to get.  Grace Jones started out as a disco queen and then moved into new wave and finally came back to pop.
This is Grace Jones' first album.  It is disco versions of show tunes and original songs.  Her voice is really stiff.  It does not go well with the material.  She would use her unique sound much better in her new wave material, such as Warm Leatherette.  The music is also very stiff.  It has the basic disco beat, but there is no interest to the music.  It is all very boring.
On her next disco attempt, Fame, she would open up a little more and the results are more satisfying.
