Cool, commanding, and effortlessly subversive — Nightclubbing (1981) is the sound of Grace Jones becoming an icon.
 
Recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas with Sly & Robbie, Wally Badarou, and Barry Reynolds, the album fuses reggae, new wave, and art-pop into a sleek, shadowy masterpiece. Grace stalks through every track with detached allure — transforming Iggy Pop’s ‘Nightclubbing’ into a slow-burn seduction, spinning ‘Pull Up to the Bumper’ into a hedonistic anthem, and delivering ‘I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango)’ with icy sophistication.
 
Both avant-garde and accessible, Nightclubbing redefined pop’s boundaries and solidified Jones as the blueprint for androgynous cool. It’s not just an album — it’s an attitude.
