"'Chinese Walk'" is a song by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 2011 by Little Boom Records as the first single from her album 'I Don't Like Disco'.
Song information
"Chinese Walk" is an uptempo electropop song written by Marin du Halgout, arranged by Gal Brusseleers, and produced by Steve Campioni and Alain Mendiburu. The lyrics, written by Amanda Lear in collaboration with Marin du Halgout, tell about the growing influence of Chinese culture and make references to China's vast population. The track was recorded and mixed in Studio Entouka in Paris, and mastered by David Hadzis in Studio Arthanor in Geneva.
The song was released in April 2011 as the first single from Amanda's then-forthcoming album 'I Don't Like Disco'. It was met with positive reception with some reviewers seeing it as a sequel to Lear's 70s disco hit "Queen of Chinatown". Although the song did not enter mainstream music charts, it did chart on DJ lists in France and Germany.
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Thibault Gurin. It presents topless Amanda and drops of black liquid falling down on her, drawing patterns on her naked body. The singer is then transformer into a Chinese woman, complete with a kimono, straight black hair and an oil-paper umbrella. The video premiered on April 18, 2011 on Amanda Lear's official YouTube channel.
