Dear Uffie,
Your awkward white-girl rap was charming. When paired with solid Feadz/Oizo/Ed Banger beats, it was outright vibe-worthy.
Key example: Oizo’s track, “Steroids” features your lovely vocals and it’s a perfect marriage of awkward and technoise. (is that coined for mr. oizo yet?)

Things went downhill from there my dear…
Your latest single [ADD Suv] featuring Pharrell (Prod. by Mirwais) is listenable –for 15 seconds. No disrespect Mirwais, but C’MON SON. Yes, there are brief glints of beauty, but in a whole sea of ugly.
Hell it could have been good even if P produced it himself.
Here’s to hoping your upcoming full-length has things that sound better than this.
Love,

In other news, this is what “ADD Suv” could have been:
Armand Van Helden in for the save. I can hear the heavy influence of Duck Sauce shining through on this one. By somewhat balancing Pharrell and Uffie’s lines, he capitalizes on Uffie’s (really good) harmonic vocals that are noticeably overshadowed [by the off-kilter-Mirwais-borderline-hip-hop-beat] and turns it into a chopped up sparkling-disco fiesta. FEEL ME??

For you to note: for some reason you readers like emailing me comments instead of just posting comments to the post directly. This poses 2 problems:
1. it’s a 1 on 1 interaction and that’s not what the internet is about. I’m all about an orgy of discussion. Besides, I’d much rather everyone be able to see my amazingly snide/smart-ass/bitch-ass replies –I’m not beyond making individual posts about email messages, as you know. but it’s gotta be REALLY good.
2. it makes me look horribly un-popular on the internet. not that i care or anything. seriously. i don’t care. forget it. fine. just keep emailing me your comments. i see u lurkers. lurkin’ ‘n shit.
BONUS:
just listen to this again. seriously. do it.

Since so many sweet tracks came out recently, I decided to make yet another ghetto mixtape for your displeasure.
Most tracks are my own edits, however, some remain untouched.
pre-apology for getting lazy at the end and not really caring at all.

So I stumbled around the internet tonight…and France has shown me the light! hahah uhhh… I guess you’ll get the joke after you listen to the track.
Anyway, this seems to be yet another demo from Uffie, and it sounds like a radio rip. Let me know what you think. I guess I’m still hyped on the girl/hip-hop/electro/uff scene.
…the first step is admitting you have a problem.
uffie – first love (no official title)
