Description
David Byrne – Uh Oh – Cassette
Warner Brothers Records
Cut in spine
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.
