Accordions, Grace Jones whispering sweet nothings in your ear in French, still impossibly cool after all these years...what's not to like?
And now, Ladies & Gentlemen, here's Grace!
Never a Grace Jones fan, but this 1981 classic is worthy of airing. It is a wonderful soft blend of Argentine tango and Jamaican reggae. The lyrics, a mix of English and French, refer to the darker side of Parisienne night life.
Tu cherches quoi?
A rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui?
Toi aussi tu détestes la vie.
