Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio talks Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami

<p>Today's episode is about "Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami", a doc about legendary Jamaican singer and style icon Grace Jones, directed by Sophie Fiennes.</p> <p>The movie was selected by our guest, Kyp Malone, who you probably know from the seminal 2000's Brooklyn indie-rock band TV on the Radio.</p> <p>Bloodlight and Bami and is a verite portrait of Grace Jones' life, over the course of a few years in the 2010s. If you're looking for a Wikipedia-style run through Grace Jones' career and the backstory of how she got there, this ain't it. You are just right there with her, living her life. Fortunately, she is a compelling enough figure to carry a movie without a lot of hand-holding by the filmmakers. The movie features many stunning performances (what a voice! she's still got it!), a trip back to Jamaica to reunite with family, scenes of Grace dealing with record companies and TV producers and chewing out Sly & Robbie, and some genuinely touching moments.</p> <p>Kyp absolutely brought the goods and we were honored and thrilled to have him on. Check out his solo stuff & go see him when he comes to your town.</p> <p>Rock Docs is a Treble Media Podcast hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts<br />  <br /> Twitter: @RockDocsPod<br />  <br /> Instagram: @RockDocsPod<br />  <br /> Cover Art by N.C.
