Grace Jones

Royal Albert Hall show

Grace Jones has announced a date at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday 26th April.

Grace Jones (born Grace Mendoza on 19th May, 1948) is a Jamaican-American singer, model, and actress. Although her image became more notable than her voice, she is in fact a highly stylized vocalist. She sings in two modes-in her monotone speak-sing as in songs such as 'Private Life', 'Walking in the Rain', and 'The Apple Stretching'; and in an almost-soprano mode in songs such as 'La Vie en Rose' and 'Slave to the Rhythm'.

Jones maintained both recording and acting careers, although her acting often overshadowed her musical output; except in Europe where her profile as a recording artist was much higher. Her strong visual presence was an advantage for her music videos and concert tours. In her concert performances, she adopted various personas and wore outlandish costumes, particularly during her years with Goude.

New remastered editions of 'Portfolio', 'Muse', and 'Fame' are due to be released in 2010. This will mark the first time 'Muse' has been commercially available on CD.

Grace Jones tickets are on sale now.
