🎙️ Pop Palace – Season 2, Episode 4: Grace Jones’ Manifesto – Nightclubbing & Living My Life 🎙️
Welcome back to Pop Palace! 🌟 In this episode, host Jack dives into the iconic era that solidified Grace Jones as not just a music artist—but a cultural movement. We’re talking about 1981’s Nightclubbing and 1982’s Living My Life—two Compass Point masterpieces that blended reggae, new wave, funk, and high-concept fashion into something totally new.
With Nightclubbing, Grace trades disco glitter for androgynous cool, delivering instant classics like “Pull Up to the Bumper,” “Walking in the Rain,” and “I’ve Seen That Face Before.” It’s ice-cold, stylish, and political—an album that doesn’t ask for attention, it commands it.
Then, with Living My Life, Grace gets personal. From the sensual confidence of “My Jamaican Guy” to the biting social commentary of “Nipple to the Bottle,” this album captures an artist in full control of her voice, sound, and image.
We unpack the music, the visuals, and the queer legacy Grace Jones built by being unapologetically herself—and redefining what pop could be.
