Music icon Grace Jones recently returned to the stage to be part of Massive Attacks' Meltdown series of concerts, in which she performed four new songs from the forthcoming album. She would not stop at just that. She has signed to Wall Of Sound and readied a new album for release on October 27. Hurricane will be the iconic diva's first album in nearly two decades. Her last studio album was Bulletproof Heart, released in 1989 by Capitol Records.

In the press release, Mark Jones, Managing Director of Wall Of Sound said "It's an absolute honour and privilege to be working with Grace. No one has inspired more people whatever race, sex, colour or creed to be who they want to be and so much more. Her new album will not only re-establish her as one of the world’s most important artists but also introduce her to a new generation of music lovers."

While Grace herself simply said "Grrrrrrr."

The album was produced by Ivor Guest and Grace herself and includes performances from Sly And Robbie and Brian Eno.

The music video of "Corporate Cannibal", a track to be included on the new album, is already online for your viewing pleasure.
