"This is Dobson’s stage, Dobson’s show. You can sit and listen or you can accept the dare; let her take hold and take you away. For the audience, the end of each song is a chance to finally exhale, and do so, for in a show as compelling as Dobson’s the moments where breathing comes easily are few and far between.

“The French breakout story of 2009 is Mademoiselle K… Think Karen O meets early ‘80s Chrissy Hynde”
“explosive and immediate… a surprisingly boisterous and compelling listen.”
“Maman XY (‘Mum XY’) is a tender and affecting track, not dissimilar to early Yeah Yeah Yeahs and lead single Grave (‘Serious’) is proudly radio-ready with its infectious and bass driven beat.”Beat Magazine 08/09
"...Ten seconds into the single I realise they’re right. They are France’s coolest rock band.” Drum Perth 07/09
"Katerine Gierak’s snarling Gallic purr having the desired effect even before you hear the translation. Tu descends, indeed." Drum Media 07/09
"It’s a big call, but Katerine Gierak, frontwoman of French rockers Mademoiselle K, could just be the Karen O of France... they’re both charismatic performers with vocal deliveries that range from quiet and pensive to wild and sexy to angry and passionate..." Time Off Magazine 07/09
“There is nothing sexier than a breathy, husky voice put to some awesome hooks and cool punky beats… Jamais La Paix is a must have. An intense pleasure to listen to.”Forte 08/09
HORSES SINGLE + BONUS TRACK ON iTUNES NOW!! “Truly, Abby Dobson has one of the most magical voices in music today, and nowhere is that better illustrated than throughout the powerhouse final moments of Horses (canny Idol wannabes would be wise to consider the song for potential “touchdown” moments in 09’) It’s a lovely song – equal parts warm and bittersweet – and, if there’s any sense in this world, may listeners (and buyers) flock to its siren song in droves” - Single of the Week, INPRESS
