About Come Clean

Product Description Come Clean by Curve Amazon.com The female presence in 1998's releases has been a near tour de force. PJ Harvey, Hole's Courtney Love, and Garbage's Shirley Manson all stormed the music scene with dynamic performances. But none can match the effortless vamp and allure of Curve vocalist Toni Halliday. Her voice has always been dark, seductive, and utterly commanding, and with Come Clean, she and partner Dean Garcia have created a danceable, riveting album that burns the feet and strikes a nerve. If you think their sound is suspiciously similar to Garbage's, remember--Curve were here first. --Beth Bessmer Review [T]he U.K. rock duo is back as a hard-edged techno outfit. While singer Toni Halliday still seems tacked on ... musicman Dean Garcia has been boning up on dancefloor trends and filling his equipment rack with samplers and beat boxes. Much to his credit, Garcia's latent rock tendencies mean that he's built a lot of Come Clean's songs on dirty guitar riffs, fat bass loops, and thunderous drum tracks. So the most techno-oriented material, like the slammin' single "Chinese Burn," sounds like forward-thinking hard rock, kind of grungy big beat for shaking your booty or banging your head. If it's brilliant synthesis, the worst songs here make the achievement seem partly accidental, as a crummy AOR number like "Dogbone" looks backward to the band's unimpressive past. -- Option
