Grace Jones as Corporate Cannibal?

From June 14-20, I am in residency at New WORLD Theater, working to develop a tourable production of my two-woman play EXPATRIATE. Among other things, the play is about music, friendship, sexual tension and race. To prepare, I've been watching a lot of footage of black women performers who were/are popular in France. Josephine Baker. Nina Simone. LaToya Jackson. Grace Jones. Of these, I find the Grace Jones persona/icon to be one of the most fascinating, appealing and appalling. Take, for example, her 2007 single "Corporate Cannibal." Lyrically, it's a smart and powerful protest against New Imperialism but the racial exoticization featured in the (albeit technologically compelling) music video is way too distracting! Who decided that recycling the tired "black woman as insatiable man/eater" image was going to make the song more palatable and pop? Why did Jones agree to this hyper-sexed (and indulgent) distortion of her features? Does her embodiment of the evil she condemns make sense here? Does "blackness as excess" sell the song or the message in the song? Did she write it? Will viewers miss her critique of hyper-capitalism altogether and dismiss the video as just another cool/weird/avant garde offering? In other words, do you think "Corporate Cannibal" is seen first or heard first? Either way, are you moved?
