Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded at the legendary Compass Point Studios with rhythm section Sly & Robbie, Grace Jones’s 'Nightclubbing' is a masterclass in impossibly sleek, deeply sensual post-disco art pop. Her iconic, deadpan vocal delivery dominates an incredibly rhythmic, highly eclectic fusion of dub reggae and icy new wave, creating an effortlessly cool, nocturnal 80s landmark.
