Muse is a Grace Jones album, released in 1979. It was the last album of her disco period, which began in 1977 with her debut album, Portfolio. The first side of the album is a continuous medley of four songs, joined by a narrative about someone who has sinned. The second side, however, consists of disco songs with no relation to one another. All album art, including the cover image, is by Richard Bernstein. It is the only Grace Jones studio album that remains unreleased in the CD format.
