Grace Jones readies comeback album

Grace Jones will release her first studio album in nearly two decades this autumn.

Hurricane, her first collection of new material since 1989's Bulletproof Heart LP, will be released on October 27 on indie label Wall of Sound.

The album, produced by Jones and her partner Ivor Guest, features contributions from Brian Eno and Jones's longtime collaborators Sly and Robbie.

Commenting on the album, Jones said: "Grrrrrrr."

Jones released nine studio albums in the 1970s and 1980s, scoring hits with 'Slave To The Rhythm', 'Pull Up To The Bumper' and a cover of The Pretenders' 'Private Life'.

She is also known for her role in Bond movie A View To A Kill and her notorious appearance on The Russell Harty Show in 1981, during which she slapped the chatshow host across his face.
