Come Clean, Curve's third studio album, came out on 10 March 1998 on Estupendo and Universal, the first record from Toni Halliday and Dean Garcia since they split in 1994 and patched things up in 1996. With Tim Simenon producing, the duo leaned hard into dance and electronic music, trading the harsh, forbidding edges of Cuckoo for sleek, pounding beats.
Halliday wrote the lyrics, and her voice glides over the machinery, icy one moment and seductive the next, while Garcia handles the bass, guitars, drums and programming. "Chinese Burn" is the stinger, all barbed hooks and grinding rhythm. The gamble paid off: the album did better with both buyers and critics than Cuckoo had, and that success convinced Curve to keep making records.
