UFFIE Sex, Dreams & Denim Jeans (2010 UK 14-track CD album -
When Uffie burst onto the scene in 2006 with her first single 'Pop the
Glock', there was nothing like it. The track was unexpected, fierce,
brilliantly ridiculous and ahead of the curve. But three years later, and
the 22-year-old Floridian is set to release her stunning debut 'Sex,
Dreams and Denim Jeans'. Put together over three years, recorded in
various apartments around Paris whenever Uffie was able to take
short-lived breaks from touring, the album has all the hallmarks of the
hedonistic club kid who introduced herself back in 2006, while the
influence of Feadz and the production hand of beat-and-synths wizard
Mr Oizo are strongly felt over many of the tracks. But there is also a
melodic, pop sensibility being explored for the first time. The result
can be heard in the likes of title track, 'Sex, Dreams and Denim
Jeans', which samples Lou Reed but sees Uffie toying with John
Hughes-esque high school heartbreak, and 'Illusion of Love', which
features the dulcet tones of Matte Safer [The Rapture]. Another
important influence over the album happened when Uffie was
introduced to Mirwais while recording the album. Having worked with
Madonna on 'Music' & 'Confessions...', Mirwais was perfectly poised to
helped nurture Uffie's inner pop star. Tracks like 'A.D.D SUV'
[featuring Pharrell Williams] poke fun at the rap fraternity's obsession
with possessions, but at the core of this idiosyncratic album, in which
Uffie flits from rude girl to sweetheart, is fun)
