Grace Jones: Bulletproof Heart [Capitol, 1989]
The title means nothing, because without giving up her stentorian tendencies, the dominatrix is here reborn as love bunny. "Seduction Surrender," "Amado Mio," "Love on Top of Love," "Someone to Love," "Paper Plan" with its "marriage of the heart," even "Kicked Around"--all proclaim her vulnerability and/or softness of orifice. The effect is so incongruous that when she quotes Nancy Reagan on crack (never say she has no social conscience), there's only one answer. No, Grace--no!
