Alive

The first 2 times I played the album, I burst into tears on each occasion.There is something in this music which I can't farthom why it does that to me. It is a unique experience which makes me feel more motivated to be alive.

" Sa Dingding... a young contender for global stardom " Guardian"Imagine Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon scored by the Cocteau Twins" MOJO"Made In China. The singer poised to sweep the globe" Independent"Immediately appealing thanks to her mesmerising tonal vocals. Innovative and rather cheeky, a brilliant combination " Metro"Sa Dingding is a superstar. Alive has something for everyone. Throughout, moments of beauty cohere and dissipate" Financial TimesThe new sound of contemporary music - Mojo"The music is striking, overlaying delicate Eastern folk melodies with Western beats and electronica, tracks such as 'Holy Incense' conjure majestic, soundscapes of mountain and river and make Dingding an impressive addition to the ranks of world divas." Observer"Sa Dingding deserves to be the first Chinese singer-songwriter to become a celebrity in the west" - Guardian"On Alive, Sa Dingding comes across as a Chinese Bjork or Kate Bush" Telegraph

I love this album, I have a large collection of Chinese music from classical to pop. This album fits in very nicely.Would recommend it to those who want something different in their collection

sa dingding has a lovely voice she came to my attention on the bbc world music proms 2008 mayra andrade was on the same programme mayras cd navega i would also recomended. Production values for both cds are excellent. sa dingding cd is a blend of the traditional east and modern west.

This album is great and unique. Its one of those albums that once you have listened to it once the music is stuck in your head and you find yourself keep humming the tunes.

Beautiful singing. Sa Ding Ding's voice seems to be from the 'spiritual heart'. I found it uplifting, inspiring, sweet and very beautiful. Created images in my head of blossoming trees, high up on misty mountains. I guess it has a 'high conciousness',you could call it.....This is quality stuff.Rachel Pierce
