After years of musical experimentation and adventures into world music, David Byrne takes his unconventional approach back to Talking Heads punk/funk. But it's spiced by Latin beats and a dazzling array of musicians; the result is a delectably fresh hybrid of modern rock and Latin pop.
The music swings, always with a sense of fun. Byrne's metaphysical lyrics mesmerize as usual, and the art student from the grimy city once again manages to take flight on his organic world-beat rhythms. The influences here run rampant: "She's Mad," for instance, harks back to early Heads--determined and primitively crunchy--and then suddenly turns into a breezy samba.
The album title comes from Byrne's fiercely sung "Something Ain't Right," but everything IS right on UH-OH.
Industry Reviews
3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...jampacked with catchy ditties....a craftsman in the grand pop tradition...
Rolling Stone (03/19/1992)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...packed with all manner of musical innovation, oddball observations and joyous nonsense...
Q (04/01/1992)
...much catchier than his theatrical and soundtrack work...relentlessly perky...the closest thing Byrne has done to a Talking Heads record since the band's last one...
Option (07/01/1992)
...integrates musical genres....Byrne's silliness has a serious swagger... - Rating: A-
