Returning to the real world for a relatively routine (but still Grace-ious) outing, Jones wrote Inside Story with Bruce Woolley and produced it with Nile Rodgers; her collaborators ... played most of the LP's music. The lyrics contemplate such offbeat-going-on-dada topics as "Hollywood Liar," "Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician" and "Chan Hitchhikes to Shanghai," while the music dully retreads various familiar late-'80s high-tech sounds. Grace's voice is fine, but this is not one of her more invigorating records.
