Uh-Oh is the second studio album by Scottish-American musician David Byrne, released in 1992. The album peaked at No. 125 on the Billboard 200. The single "She's Mad" reached No. 3 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Production

The album was produced by Nick Launay. The cover portrays angels gathered around a cartoon dog (god spelled backward).

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that "Byrne has finally figured out how to make the wacky Pan-American dance album he's been after since the mid-1980's." 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." The track "A Million Miles Away" was used as the theme song of the TV show Flying Blind.
