Terrible way to end a carrer........2005-09-24

I totaly agree with the first review....that album realy sucks.
I try to hear it many times,but its simply impossible.
The Arrangements is so poor and out of date.
Try any other Graces' album except that.

This album is horrible.......2005-09-17

I bought this album because I had never heard a Grace Jones album and so I decided to buy this one. Big mistake! All of the songs are so poor and Grace cannot sing for anything. She doesn't even sing hardly- it's mostly her just yelling and talking! The only half-way decent song is a bonus track called Dream. Other than that, this album sucks.

Killer Kiss.......2005-03-01

She left Island, joined the cast of Bond in '85, scored a Top 10 hit in 1986 with "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)." Bulletproof Heart is a mixed bag, it's overproduced and sometimes, it even comes off a little cheesy. The lead single is without doubt the number one dance hit: Love on Top of Love, which is a pretty funky tune. She carries the song (and herself) extremely well throughout that song. Much of the album seems hampered by the overproduction, and some of the material even seems unfinished. The plaintive "Paper Plan" is a fine example of this, with lines such as: "Marriage of the heart" makes it look rather campy and cheesy. The album does however have some shining moments such as the rhythmic "Seduction Surrender" which is an adapted version of the song she performed in Vamp, two years prior to this album. Another highlight is the extremely moody "On My Way" with lush soundscapes and stirring strings. As a whole, Bulletproof Heart is an accomplished piece of finely (but overproduced) pop art, even if it occasionally sinks into a little too much campiness, as it does on "Crack Attack" with the head-phrase being "Crack is wack." The 2004 re-release includes four bonus tracks: a Garage House mix of "Love on Top of Love," a Brazilian mix of the already stunning

Amado Mio.......2004-12-11

Grace Jones co-produced most of the tracks on this 1989 album. Bulletproof Heart contains an amalgam of her styles and although not a classic, it is a strong work that will please her fans. With its funky rhythm, Driving Satisfaction has just a hint of her classic Pull Up To The Bumper and lovely swirling percussive patterns.

Kicked Around is closer to vocal pop, whilst Love On Top Of Love has a bouncy beat and innovative vocal arrangement. Crack Attack is a polyrhythmic dance number and the title track has a jerky rhythm and some marvellous sax. There are also beautiful tuneful ballads like Paper Plan, Someone To Love and Amado Mio. Her voice really soars on Someone To Love, a rousing ballad with a wonderful melody and some romantic French lyrics.

Amado Mio is the album's torch song and a fine example of her mastery of the genre. It has lovely accordion, a Spanish flavor and some French infusions. These aforementioned two songs should have been big bits and are amongst the highlights of her career.

This CD re-issue of Bulletproof Heart includes four additional tracks, of which the garage-house remix of Love On Top Of Love and the Brazilian mix of Amado Mio are the best. Bulletproof Heart may not be Jones most innovative work but it remains a good album that has stood the test of time very well.

Grace Jones Nuff said.......2007-06-23

This was indeed Ms. Graces' Lat album and it is her worst seller not making a dent on any chart. Though the album is good it does not compare to Inside Story or Slave To The Rhythm! Only recommended for hard core fans like me! Fair weathers will be scared off by Kicked Around!

Sadly Overlooked.......2005-02-15

This is a rather good album, it's a shame it has been overlooked by many. It is somewhat disjointed though, I must agree with one amazon reviewer (Ian Phillips "1989 Studio Album"...by the way that review, in my opinion, gives a great portrayal of the album). There are some fillers here, so be warned. The good tracks are "Love On Top Of Love" (the most well known single off this album, and not the best one either), "Driving Satisfaction", "Bulletproof Heart", "Amado Mio" & "On My Way". Those last two tracks are designed to infuse some continental (European) flava "a-la-Grace" with some spanish and french undertones respectively. Tres chic, you'd better agree or you'll be slapped by Ms. Jones. There are some great remixes of the tracks off this album available out there, namely "Amado Mio (Brazilian Mix)" and "love On Top Of Love" (both the Garage House Mix & the Killer Kiss Mix) for the clubbers at heart. I believe these two are included as bonus tracks on the newly remastered CD. Now go put some Grace in your face.

1989 Studio Album.......2005-02-04

Grace Jones rarely recorded in the mid to late 1980's and infact you could probably argue that her recording career reached its peak with the Trevor Horn produced Slave To The Rhythm album in 1985.

After her 1986 studio entry, Inside Story, which became only a moderate seller (though was devoured by her legion of gay male fans)no one quite knew what to expect next from her.

At the fall of 1989, Jones returned to the recording studios with producers Chris Stanley, David Cole and Robert Chivilles for the rather disjointed Bulletproof Heart album. Jones co-wrote the majority of songs along with singer Chris Stanley.

Bulletproof Heart (1989) like Inside Story (1986) was another foray into mainstream Pop, divulging into Funk, R&B and Dance. The project seemed more of an effort on Jones' part to catapult her back onto the club scene where she had enjoyed immense success in the late 70's.

Opening the album is the cool, Funk-driven Dance number, Driving Satisfaction which comes complete with swirling, synthesised effects and a vastly seductive, sexually charged performance from Jones. Driving Satisfaction becomes almost contagious after a couple of listens and emerges as one of the better tracks to be found scattered on Bulletproof Heart.

With the jamming affair of Driving Satisfaction, you would think the album would get better from here on but the whole project is something of a mixed affair with some highs and some lows.

Another anthem written by Jones and Chris Stanley, Kicked Around, features a ferocious, red-blooded Jones in sado-massachist (and extremely freaky) mode as she scowls through this tale of self-esteem, fighting back and getting even with ex-lovers. Her performance has spirit and fire though is a little on the frail side and at points nearly going out of tune. Still can't make up my mind whether this is compelling from its weird, off-the-wall manner or just complete utter dross. Either way you can almost feel Jones putting her whole heart and soul into the song.

The jamming Love On Top Of Love combines the songwriting talents of Jones and Chris Stanley with David Cole, one half of the early 90's Pop group C+C Music Factory who scored a hit with the catchy Things That Make You Go Hmmm. David Cole works his commercial-like magic on Jones for this fabulously funky, infectious Dance/R&B belter. Jones delivery is surprisingly strong and assertive. Though Love On Top Of Love enjoyed some club recognition, the track all the more surprisingly bombed on the mainstream charts.

The limitations of her thin, narrow singing surface on the droning sounds of Paper Plan whilst she delivers more gritty social commentary on the hip, trancey urban R&B number, Crack Attack on which Jones inserts herself effectively into the complex musical arrangements.

The monster title track, Bulletproof Heart alongside the superb Love On Top Of Love, is one of the recordings on the project that has such instant immediacy. From the thunderous opening intro (that vaguely resembles Michael Jacksons', The Way You Make Me Feel) to crashing musical effects, Jones ignites the track into a winner with her sassy performance that gels well into the over-all musical arrangements.

On My Way was far more intricate and mellow with haunting male backing vocals echoing throughout whilst Jones' delivery is easy-going and seamless whereas more upbeat is the so-so purley Pop-oriented, Dream.

Seduction Surrender has some spark and ignition in the musical arrangements but somehow seems lost in a ponderous production though nearly exactly the same could be said about Someone To Love. Someone To Love seems like its all about to come together and work but somehow doesn't sound fully formed where as Jones vocals are rather flat and far from enthusiastic.

Jones duets with Chris Stanley on the exotic late night R&B/Pop ballad, Don't Cry Freedom. Both are in good voice, though its Chris Stanley that surprisingly seems to hog the spotlight though there is still undeniable chemistry between these two singers on record. Even so, Don't Cry Freedom becomes slightly tedious once its reached the end of its second verse and the whole track doesn't seem to quite get off the ground.

The final track is the even drearier, Amado Mio. Opening with mellow and soothing sounds of the flamenco guirtar, the track then wildly steers direction turning into a manic, frantically arranged blend of pounding percussion, electric keyboards and a tenor saxophone solo. May sound good but its overly a bit of a mess and Jones does little to liven things up with a flat and slightly droning performance.

Bulletproof Heart (1989) was Grace Jones last fully conceived studio album. She seemed to have lost direction on the music scene even though in all fairness this did seem a highly self-concious and ambitious effort. Indeed there are highlights on the project but over-all its a rather pale reflection of past glories - just take a listen to her albums Warm Leatherette (1980) and Nightclubbing (1981) which were both pure masterpieces. Bulletproof Heart however, is perharps for completists only.
