Iconic performer Grace Jones has released her first CD in almost 20 years. The stunning Jamaican-born alternative rocker has released 'Hurricane' and the powerful video 'Corporate Cannibal' at 60 years of age.
Jones’ return is the ultimate comeback. The video, filmed in black and white is an astounding piece of art. Through computer enhancement, her sinuous body distorts in psychedelic manners.
Grace sings of the corporate machine, a "man eating machine," which will, "consume my consumers, with no sense of humor."
Not only are her lyrics poignant and thought-provoking as always, but the video is hypnotically beautiful.
