"Card-carrying members of the club community surely remember the Daou's genre-defying debut, 1992's Head Music (Columbia), and its single "Surrender Yourself", which topped the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Such subsequent singles as "Give Myself to You" and "Are You Satisfied?", both on Tribal, proved the Daou was on a serious mission: to rethink the parameters of contemporary rhythm-based music."  Billboard

Danny Tenaglia's remix of "Sunday Afternoons" reached #1 on Billboard's Dance Chart in 1996. "Two to Tango" spent 3 weeks at #1 that same year. Billboard

"[Tenaglia's] first epic was The Daou's "Surrender Yourself" (1993): With the kick in the bass and the underlying rhythm as the foundation, Tenaglia blanketed Vanessa Daou's wispy vocal with grand, thick chords, a combination of classic groove and modern club-ready depth that was, at the time, entirely new." dannytenaglia.com

"Signed by Columbia/Sony, Daou released their debut duo album, Head Music, in 1992. The album was extremely successful with the first single, "Surrender Yourself," reaching the top of Billboard's club chart." All Music
