Performer Notes

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.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (3/19/92, p.89) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...jampacked with catchy ditties....a craftsman in the grand pop tradition..."

Entertainment Weekly (3/13/92, p.50) - "...integrates musical genres....Byrne's silliness has a serious swagger..." - Rating: A-

Q (4/92, p.70) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...packed with all manner of musical innovation, oddball observations and joyous nonsense..."

Option (July-Aug/92, p.93) - "...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..."
