Press Reviews "This stuff is nothing if not silky and sensuous...it is a mixed bouquet of style, dance, sensuality, and high-tech passion...their lyrics are fabulous, bright, sexually explicit and erotic...some of it is tart, some of it is blatant, but all of it is pretty damn sexy." - Hap Mansfield, CAKE magazine, Minneapolis, MN. /// "This band knows way more than all of you put together. ‘Tango’ is everything I love and everything I hate about music. It’s one long heroin-chic dance until sunrise classic, doom-filled and loaded with a Zen-like hypnotic air. ‘Tango’ is a brave jump into uncharted hook-filled pop that’s as close to gaining a world audience as you’re going to see anytime soon." - Alan Goldsmith, AGENDA magazine, Ann Arbor, MI. /// "Amazing stuff...art meets dance meets genius...there is so much depth, so many neo-classic tunes it takes your breath away." - CURRENT magazine, Ann Arbor, MI. /// "Chinadoll make music that’s like nothing I’ve ever heard...their work is honest, real and compelling." - Toni Wilson, OIL magazine, Moline, IL. /// "Beautiful...haunting...funny...bravo! (four out of five stars)" - Victoria, DE'PRESSED INTERNATIONAL, Detroit, MI. /// "I, for one, am planning on playing the hell out of it." - Kate Hillman, WSND-FM, Notre Dame, IL. /// ...more reviews available at http://www.chinadoll.net
