Uh-Oh is the second studio album by Scottish-American musician David Byrne, released in 1992. [10] [11] [12]

Contents

The album peaked at No. 125 on the Billboard 200. [13] The single "She's Mad" reached No. 3 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. [14]

Production

The album was produced by Nick Launay. [15] The cover portrays angels gathered around a cartoon dog (god spelled backward). [16]

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that "Byrne has finally figured out how to make the wacky Pan-American dance album he's been after since the mid-1980's." [17] The Guardian deemed Uh-Oh "the most Talking-Heads-esque of Byrne’s solo albums, albeit with a Latin-American influence." [18] The Washington Post thought that Byrne's "yelps, which range from intentionally comic to comically arty, rarely dominate their rhythmically dense, albeit melodically bland, settings." [19] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that the "Afro-Brazilian influences are more fully integrated now than on 1989's Rei Momo ." [20]

The track "A Million Miles Away" was used as the theme song of the TV show Flying Blind .
