Grace Jone: The Blueprint of Cool
🎙️ Pop Palace – Season 2, Episode 4: Grace Jones’ Manifesto – Nightclubbing & Living My Life 🎙️ Welcome back to Pop Palace! 🌟 In this episode, host Jack dives into the iconic era that solidified Grace Jones as not just a music artist—but a cultural movement. We’re talking about 1981’s Nightclubbing and 1982’s Living My Life—two Compass Point masterpieces that blended reggae, new wave, funk, and high-concept fashion into something totally new. With Nightclubbing, Grace trades disco glitter for androgynous cool, delivering instant classics like “Pull Up to the Bumper,” “Walking in the Rain,” and “I’ve Seen That Face Before.” It’s ice-cold, stylish, and political—an album that doesn’t ask for attention, it commands it. Then, with Living My Life, Grace gets personal. From the sensual confidence of “My Jamaican Guy” to the biting social commentary of “Nipple to the Bottle,” this album captures an artist in full control of her voice, sound, and image. We unpack the music, the visuals, and the queer legacy Grace Jones built by being unapologetically herself—and redefining what pop could be. Visit for more episodes and bonus content. And get ready, because Slave to the Rhythm is coming next. 🎧🔥 #GraceJones #Nightclubbing #LivingMyLife #PopPalace #PostDisco #QueerIcon #CompassPoint

Grace Jones: From Disco Diva to New Wave Warrior
🎙️ Pop Palace – Season 2, Episode 3: Grace Jones’ Reinvention: Muse & Warm Leatherette 🎙️ Welcome back to Pop Palace! 🌟 In this episode, host Jack explores the turning point in Grace Jones’ legendary career—her final disco statement Muse (1979) and the bold rebirth that was Warm Leatherette (1980). First, we dive into Muse, a dramatic, gospel-tinged goodbye to the disco era that made Grace a star. Produced by Tom Moulton, the album channels redemption, nightlife, and theatrical excess—with tracks like “Sinning” and “Saved” reflecting a diva at the edge of transformation. Then, everything changes. With Warm Leatherette, Grace steps into a new era: stripped-down, androgynous, and fiercely in control. Recorded at Compass Point Studios with Sly & Robbie, Alex Sadkin, and Barry Reynolds, this album fuses reggae, new wave, and post-punk into something wholly her own. From the industrial cool of “Private Life” to the stark elegance of “Love Is the Drug,” Grace isn’t chasing trends—she’s setting them. We’ll unpack the sound, the image, and the queer legacy Grace carved out by breaking every rule. This is the moment she stopped being a disco star and became a pop culture architect.

Before stepping into the studio, Grace ruled the Paris and NYC runways—but music was always her destiny. Signing with Island Records and teaming up with legendary producer Tom Moulton, she crafted Portfolio, a disco debut full of ambition and drama. Side one offered a medley of Broadway classics, while side two gave us the unforgettable cover of “La Vie en Rose” 🌹—a song that would become her signature. The single “I Need a Man” quickly became a club anthem, especially among LGBTQ+ audiences, launching Grace into icon status. The following year, Fame elevated her vision even further. With bold tracks like “Do or Die” and a haunting rendition of “Autumn Leaves”, Grace pushed the limits of disco with theatrical flair and avant-garde edge. Though both albums received mixed critical reception, they ignited dance floors across Europe and the U.S., laying the foundation for a pop culture legend unafraid to defy expectations.
