Uh-Oh, released in 1992 through Luaka Bop, Sire Records, and Warner (Bros.) Records, is the second solo album and third studio album overall by Scottish-American Alternative Rock musician David Byrne. His first album released after the breakup of Talking Heads just three months prior, the record acts as a loose sequel to the band's eighth and final album, 1988's Naked. Appropriately, the album is a similar mix of rock and Afro-Latin funk. However, it also distinguishes itself by incorporating elements of Big Band music and the World Music style of Byrne's previous solo album, 1989's Rei Momo. Thus, Uh-Oh manages to both parallel Naked and offer its own distinct take on the base elements.Fitting this shakeup, the album shifts producers from Steve Lillywhite to Nick Launay. Like Lillywhite, Launay was well-known for his work with the Post-Punk and Alternative Rock movements, co-engineering Kate Bush's The Dreaming and producing albums for the likes of Public Image Ltd., Killing Joke, Midnight Oil, and INXS. Launay would also produce the three outtakes that Talking Heads finished for the retrospective compilation Sand in the Vaseline: Popular Favorites— "Gangster of Love", "Popsicle", and "Lifetime Piling Up". As a result, those songs would feature a similar sound to this album, effectively making Uh-Oh a plausible approximation of what a ninth Talking Heads album would've sounded like.No longer tied to his old band, Byrne decided to go to greater lengths than before with promoting this record. Not only did he produce elaborate music videos for each of the album's singles— all of which took great lengths to focus on him as an independent figure, no band attached— but he also undertook his first major tour since Talking Heads' Speaking in Tongues tour in 1983. Similarly, a Direct to Video Concert Film from this tour, Between the Teeth — Live, was filmed and released in 1993, acting as an attempted Spiritual Successor to Stop Making Sense in its minimalist visuals while also teasing forthcoming songs from his self-titled album the following year.Uh-Oh was supported by three singles: "Hanging Upside Down", "She's Mad", and "Girls On My Mind".Tracklist: "Now I'm Your Mom" (4:43) "Girls On My Mind" (3:52) "Something Ain't Right" (3:37) "She's Mad" (5:20) "Hanging Upside Down" (4:31) "A Walk in the Dark" (4:21) "Twistin' in the Wind" (4:14) "The Cowboy Mambo (Hey Lookit Me Now)" (3:37) "Monkey Man" (4:07) "A Million Miles Away" (4:24) "Tiny Town" (5:03) "Somebody" (4:59)Anyone can see we're out of tropes: | |
