The elusive and groundbreaking Jamaican singer Grace Jones is well known for continuously merging experimental art and music with pop culture. Early in her career, she crafted a persona which utilized her stunning looks and talent in a way that made her unignorable and truly unique. On her 1981 album “Nightclubbing,” she incorporated an amalgam of genres such as reggae, new wave, synth-pop, and funk to create a critical and commercial masterpiece that has had a long lasting impact on pop music in the succeeding decades.

The cover of “Nightclubbing” features a painted photograph of Jones’ face by the French designer, photographer, and illustrator Jean-Paul Goude. The photo captures Jones in an androgynous outfit with an unlit cigarette, gazing towards the camera with her eyes slightly closed. It has been widely regarded as one of the most iconic album covers in American music, despite Goude and Jones’ controversial relationship and the former’s admitted fetishization of black women. #juxtapozsoundandvision
