Grace Jones' "Slave To The Rhythm"

Is there such a thing as a “perfect song?” Well if there’s someone who might be able to make it, leave it to one of the most culturally influential artists in music and fashion history! On this episode of One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY break down Grace Jones’ 1985 chart-topping, club-ready hit, “Slave To The Rhythm.” They dive into all the layers that make this song so pristine — including Grace’s smooth, powerful voice, the lush '80s synths, a really funky bass line, and D.C.-style go-go beats – and talk about the creative team that helped Grace attain international icon status as a boundary-breaking musician and model.
