Grace Jones teamed with the great reggae production duo of
Sly Dunbar and
Robbie Shakespeare on this 1980 album, and made the transition from straight dance and club act into quasi-pop star with reggae and urban contemporary leanings. The single "Private Life" was one of her best, and the overall album had more energy and production gloss than previous LPs that had been aimed completely at the club market. It helped that
Jones seemed enthused about the session and really put herself into the songs. ~ Ron Wynn
