GRACE TO RELEASE MOVIE?

Eccentric singer Grace Jones has revealed enough material of her has been recorded to release a film.

The star - who has just released her first album for 19 years - said she may soon be appearing on the big screen in her own movie.

She told BBC 6 Music that Sophie Fiennes has amassed a substantial amount of film after following her around for the last "four or five years".

"It's a lot of performance, it's me in Jamaica, we had a family reunion and it’s the making of the record," she said of the content.

Grace worked with Brian Eno, Tricky and the legendary Tony Allen on her new album, Hurricane - which she has called "an underground record".

The 60-year-old singer also explained how she funded the record by herself, without the involvement of a record company.

"I just did my little underground gigs to pay for it and I had the support from all the musicians and everybody who didn’t ask for all the payment right away and that’s what happened," she said.
