Comfort Zone

Singer-songwriter Dou Jingtong talks about her latest album and music that runs deep in her family. Chen Nan reports.

Dou Jingtong wears her hair down. Her slim figure barely fills out an oversized jacket. As the lights dim on a recent evening, she edges toward the microphone and slowly begins to sing. Dou's voice fills the air, mesmerizing her audience. She is in her element.

Eighteen months after releasing her debut album, Stone Cafe, the singer-songwriter is rolling out her second one, Kids Only.
