"Bulletproof Heart" is the ninth studio album by Jamaican singer Grace Jones, released in October 1989. It was co-produced by Chris Stanley and features various genres such as pop, reggae, dance, and house. The album marked a deviation from the iconic Caribbean sound Jones was popularly known for, instead leaning toward a more mainstream pop style.
The album was produced amid the peak of the digital and CD age, which might influence the album's lengthy duration, as each track extended close to or over five minutes long. Featured songs include "Amado Mio," "Love on Top of Love," and the urban-flavored R&B dance track "Crack Attack."
Jones co-wrote a majority of the songs on the album and made significant contributions to the lyrics and melodies. However, the album did not fare well commercially as compared to Jones' earlier work. The lead single "Love on Top of Love," however, was a success on the Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, hitting the No. 1 position.
Despite the surrounding circumstances during the album's creation and its initial lukewarm reception, "Bulletproof Heart" remains an essential piece of Jones' discography, showcasing her artistry and ability to cross genre boundaries.
