'''''Uh-Oh''''' is the second studio album by [[David Byrne]], released in 1992. Following on from ''[[Rei Momo]]'' (1989), the album incorporated many influences from Latin-American music, although this time more blended with rock music. The album has a very energetic and comical tone, which has led to it both being dismissed by some critics, yet widely liked as a fan favorite. The songs on Uh-Oh incorporate some political, religious, and sexual themes. | |||

Music videos were released for the songs ''[[Girls on my Mind]]'', ''[[She's Mad]]'', and ''[[Hanging Upside Down]]''. Following its release, Byrne supported it with a world tour (named the Monster in the Mirror tour, in reference to a lyric in [[A Walk in the Dark]]) which led to his first solo concert film, [[Between the Teeth]] (1993), filmed in New Jersey on Halloween, 1992. | ||

''[[The Guardian]]'' deemed ''Uh-Oh'' "the most Talking-Heads-esque of Byrne’s solo albums, albeit with a Latin-American influence." ''[[The Washington Post]]'' thought that Byrne's "yelps, which range from intentionally comic to comically arty, rarely dominate their rhythmically dense, albeit melodically bland, settings." The ''[[Orlando Sentinel]]'' wrote that the "Afro-Brazilian influences are more fully integrated now than on 1989's ''[[Rei Momo]]''." | ||
