David Byrne Artist Snapshot:

After the Talking Heads broke up at the end of the '80s, David Byrne went even deeper into the exploration of world music that he'd begun on 1979's FEAR OF MUSIC. He incorporated strong elements of Latin, Cuban, and African music into his solo ventures, but of equal importance was his establishment of the Luaka Bop label, which proved to be one of the most important outlets in the US for world music. Through both collaborations and A&R work, Byrne was responsible for bringing multi-cultural music to the masses, especially with his highly influential BRAZIL CLASSICS compilation series.

Review

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..."

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.
