"Schizophrenic, photogenic, psychogenic, hallucinogenic..."
I never heard of her until today, but I like her now for sure... According to Wikipedia, Uffie is a "Miami-born, Hong Kong-raised, Paris-based underground electro artist, vocalist, rapper, entertainer, songwriter, producer and fashion designer..." Wow, how could I miss that?
Apparently when she visited Paris for a holiday and decided to stay permanently, some people encouraged her to do some music. The first song she created, became an underground but massive hit.. That was when she was around 18 years old...now she is 22 and after so many personal life changes she is releasing her "long awaited" debut album. Before you think she is derivative of any of today's current female artists, I have seen the proof that she originated many of the current qualities long before these other artists...so I welcome her to 2010 in this moment, by appreciating her current electro/hip-hop single and video in advance of her new/first album "Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans" - seen here with producer Mirwais and Pharrell Williams riding shotgun on the streets of LA..
W h i c h c o l o r p i l l d i d s h e t a k e . . . ?
(here is a modern day interview with her in 2010)
Here is that first song she ever did...Coming off all "gangsta" and "auto-tuned" but so distinctive and fresh and intense. My 2006 self only wished I knew of it then.
