"[Coco Dame's] fusion of bravado and vulnerability, erotic appetite and emotional yearning, is catchy, cheap, and right down my alley." Grade: A MINUS
-Robert Christgau MSN Music (http://music.msn.com) - Consumer Guide
"Oh!' she-bops along on synth squelches as Dame employs a spunky singing voice to reminisce with bloodshot eyes about her misspent youth. And on the stellar breakup ballad "Lonely, Lonely," she shows off an old-school flow and a downtown chirp while nursing a hangover after a night of being licked."
-Ryan Dombal Blender Magazine
"Their debut EP is lyrically, and musically, gloriously filthy. 'DTF', 'Ripe' and 'We're In the Suburbs' are brilliant pieces of sexy, potty-mouthed, crunky electro-hop. In contrast the other three tracks that make up The OlÕ Reach-Around are wonderfully sweet sounding. On 'Oh!', 'Lonely, Lonely' and 'Suicide Queen' they suddenly seem to come over all indie-pop. That is, with a whole heap of catchy electro.
"
-Paul Bond Analogue Magazine (http://www.analoguemagazine.com/)
"Singer Coco Dame is sentimental one minute, brash the next, as Good Goose's spare but room-filling beats coax playful and sexy come-ons from her [...] "Oh!" rides a glowing summery hook that belies its tale of wistful nostalgia, and "Lonely Lonely" reveals a broken heart beating beneath sweat-soaked skin."
-Michael Gallucci The Cleveland Scene
"Blending rap, glam, pop, electro, funk and gold lame tights, Menya combined dj'd electro goodness with a big female lead presence all in a tiny package. It's rare to find an act like this that distinguishes itself from the hordes of cookie cutter copycats that so long to be Crystal Castles, Heartsrevolution, and the like...but Menya proves that they have the formula down for success.
