Uffie is back and better than ever with her new single, “Sadmoney“.
Uffie has always been a unique pop force and her new music proves that she hasn’t lost any of that sparkle. Authentic and unrestricted by genre boundaries, Uffie fuses elements of hip-hop, pop, and electronica to create a sound that is distinctly her own. “Sadmoney” is just the kind of self-aware and honest pop that the industry is craving, and Uffie will be following it up with a brand new EP titled Tokyo Love Hotel out on February 14th.
French-American artist & producer Uffie burst onto the scene with her international underground hit “Pop The Glock,” released in 2006 on Parisian record label Ed Banger Records. Alongside her label mates Justice and Mr. Oizo, Uffie became a sort of musical sensation thanks to her experimental and nonconformist pop sound. Throughout the mid-to-late aughts, Uffie’s electro-pop sensibilities continued to gain momentum, cumulating in the critically-acclaimed album “Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans” in 2010. Uffie had everyone from Vogue to The Guardian singing her praises.
After taking a nearly six-year hiatus, Uffie reappeared in 2017 with a feature on Charli XCX’s “Babygirl.” She also reintroduced herself as an artist in her own right, headlining Phoenix’s VIVA PHX! festival and performing at the 10th Anniversary Hard Festival in Los Angeles. In 2018, Uffie emerged with her first solo single in seven years, “Drugs,” as well as a collaboration with EDM sensations Galantis (Spaceship). The pop phenomenon continued to roll out infectious singles throughout 2018, such as “Your Hood,” “Sideways” and “Papercuts,” and was even named one of PAPER Magazine’s PAPER People.
Uffie will also be kicking her live performances into high gear again this year, starting with a show at San Francisco’s Noise Pop Festival on March 1st. Tickets are available here.
