• After the Compass Point trilogy, Jones released a series of decent albums, but with diminishing returns — Slave To The Rhythm (1985), Inside Story (1986) and Bulletproof Heart (1989). It’s a pity she couldn’t have kept up with the same band.

Pop culture icon Grace Jones has a reputation for being fearless, but an extract from her new autobiography sees her more outspoken than ever, taking a swipe at the entire contemporary pop star.

'Slave to the Rhythm' is a 1985 hit song performed by Grace Jones.

Background[edit]

'Slave to the Rhythm' was the first single from Grace Jones' album of the same name, which was released in 1985. The song and the album were written by Bruce Woolley, Simon Darlow, Stephen Lipson and Trevor Horn and produced by Horn. This was Grace's first album in three years, and it contained eight variations of the same song (the single's B-side is another variation, yet to be released on CD). 'Slave to the Rhythm' was originally intended for Frankie Goes to Hollywood as a follow-up to their hit debut single 'Relax'.^[1] The song was assembled and produced by Horn after 'Two Tribes', but the project was given to Jones. Paul Morley says Horn worked on the song endlessly and had hoped it would become one of his biggest and most successful creations.^[2]

The song's lyric is interpreted in various ways; as telling about slavery in Afro-American history ('Axe to wood in ancient time/Man machine, power line/Fires burn, hearts beat strong/Sing out loud the chain gang song.') or referring to the music industry and its exploitation of musicians.^[3]

'Slave to the Rhythm' was released in Autumn 1985 to a great commercial success. The single became one of Jones' greatest commercial successes and is considered to be one of her signature tunes. It became one of the biggest chart successes for the singer in the UK (number 12, next to 'Pull Up to the Bumper'). The track proved exceptionally popular in Belgium, New Zealand, Italy and German speaking countries, where it made it to the top 10. The original version of the single, and its remixes, also topped the American dance chart in February 1986, despite not entering the mainstream Billboard Hot 100 ranking. 'Slave to the Rhythm' was proclaimed the best single of 1985 by The Face magazine.^[4] In 1994 a newly remixed version of the song reached the top 40 in the UK charts.

The hit single version of the song is in fact confusingly re-titled 'Ladies and Gentlemen: Miss Grace Jones' on the Slave to the Rhythm album.^[5] The track 'Slave to the Rhythm' on the album is in turn an entirely different interpretation of the song—a fact which apparently eluded Universal Music when they included this version in one of their many best-of packages The Ultimate Collection.

In 2012, Jones performed the song at Queen Elizabeth II'sDiamond Jubilee Concert in which she hula hooped for the entire song.

Music video[edit]

The music video for 'Slave to the Rhythm' features the hit single version of the song, billed as 'Ladies and Gentlemen: Miss Grace Jones' in the album track listing. It largely consists of previously seen footage, using excerpts from Jones' previously released music videos, 'My Jamaican Guy' and 'Living My Life', as well as the documentary A One Man Show. Included are also still pictures of some of the singer's most iconic looks and the Citroën CX TV advertisement.^[6] No new footage of Jones herself was filmed for the video, which features a spoken voice-over from actor Ian McShane, extracted from tracks 'Jones the Rhythm' and 'Operattack'. The video, of which there are several versions, was directed by Jean-Paul Goude, Jones' boyfriend at the time.^[7]

The video was nominated for the Best Female Video at 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, eventually losing to Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know'.^[8] It was included as a bonus on the re-release of the A One Man Show video.^[9]

The video starts with dialogue from Ian McShane and shows how the cover art of Slave to the Rhythm was made, a before and after of the cover art image, then it shows a series of clips from archived music videos including 'My Jamaican Guy', 'I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)' & the suicide scene from 'Living My Life' edited to towards the end to when Jones collapsed and dies.

In a selection from I’ll Never Write My Memoirs published exclusively on Time Out London, the multitalented performer lays out a detailed critique of how subversion is often presented in the mainstream pop world. Don’t be fooled by the reductive headline that boils her message down to “Grace Jones slays Rihanna, Miley, Gaga and Kanye…” Ms Jones has something to say.

“They dress up as though they are challenging the status quo, but by now, wearing those clothes, pulling those faces, revealing those tattoos and breasts, singing to those fractured, spastic, melting beats — that is the status quo,” the Jamaican writes in her new book.
“There’s a lot of that around at the moment: “Be like Sasha Fierce. Be like Miley Cyrus. Be like Rihanna. Be like Lady Gaga. Be like Rita Ora and Sia. Be like Madonna,” she adds in her tell-all.

Grace Jones has launched a scathing attack on contemporary pop acts who are wanton to trends and have brazenly stolen her aesthetic, saying: “I cannot be like them — except to the extent that they are already being like me.”
In an extract from her forthcoming autobiography I’ll Never Write My Memoirs — published on Time Out — the singer and style icon spoke about being copied by contemporary acts and how pop stars such as Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus have “no long-term vision”.

“There will always be a replacement coming along very soon — a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version,” she wrote. “So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.”
She wrote about not using the word diva because it’s been abused: “Every singer given a makeover or a few weeks on a talent show seems to be called a diva these days.”

Grace Jones’s Wildest Anecdotes

In advance of the book’s release — it was released on September 29 via Simon & Schuster — SPIN rounded up 11 of Jones’ wildest anecdotes from the lengthy tome for your viewing pleasure.

• She has an inside joke with Prince Charles, and another with his mother, Queen Elizabeth.
• The singer famously won’t go onstage unless she’s been paid in full before the show’s start — a truism that the electronics company LG learned the hard way at a corporate event in London.
• She once tried to fetch then-boyfriend Dolph Lundgren from his Los Angeles home with a gun.
• Jones was meant to be the female lead in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner but turned it down without reading the script, due to a rivalry the director had with her then-boyfriend Jean-Paul Goude. She also passed on the title role of Octopussy.
• One time, her producer asked her to come to the studio immediately to record additional vocals for a song. The studio was 15 minutes away. Jones showed up three days later because she was busy cutting/burning Dolph Lundgren’s clothing.
