Review
So now Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans is finally here, Uffie looks like the copy, not the template. But a swift listen to this exciting, polychromatic record should put paid to that. Talent burns through old-skool rap bangers, ferocious electro body-poppers and teary teen anthems–never a dull moment, never an irritating frat-girl with a "bottle of Jack".
It's no surprise it's varied; this is an album that's gathered tracks over five years. Now positively ancient, Pop the Glock kicks off the fun, as future-perfect as it ever was, and there's space for 2007 EP tracks First Love and Brand New Car.
The lengthy gestation has seen a host of French disco kings popping in, with significant production jobs from Mr Oizo (of Flat Beat notoriety), Mirwais (brilliantly weaving the warped skeleton of The Velvet Underground's Rock & Roll under the title-track), SebastiAn and the faithful Feadz, but the ear is also caught by a couple of Yanks: The Rapture's Mattie Safer guesting on cosmic house drifter Illusion of Love, and Pharrell Williams' gleeful turn on recent sarky bling-killing single ADD SUV.
Uffie's well aware she went AWOL, but paints it as a virtue. "Three tracks a year and they still talk about me," she boasts on Art of Uff, although the tremendous, shrill, B-girl blast of MCs Can Kiss concedes "No boss on my shoulder... maybe that's why I don't do so much." Still, she's painstakingly hoarded an impressive 14 tracks here–if she can pick up that ball again, maybe she'll run with it this time. --Matthew Horton

But 'Pop The Glock was 5 years or more back, and this is all she's managed to come up with in all that time? All the singles again, a few good tracks and a load of by-the-numbers dancefloor technopop? Even the title of the album and the artwork look like they were thought up in 5 minutes on a wet Tuesday afternoon.
There's something to be said for a cool, non-careerist 'take it or leave it' attitude, but why bother makng records at all if you can't be ***sed to do any more than a half-hearted job of it?
A bit like M.I.A or Amanda Blank.
mhhh, I like very much "pop the glock" and "Art of Uff" is good.
But from track 2 to track 13 there is to much desire to "be cool" that... Read more
