UH HUH HER - Common Reaction. 3.5 / 5
Were it not for Leisha Hailey’s portrayal of Alice on Showtime’s ‘The L Word’, Uh Huh Her would be swimming amongst a plethora of girl pop acts already on the market.
Fortunately, the musical talent of Hailey and her band mate Camilla ‘Cam’ Grey pushes them above the masses, and all the extra fans are just a bonus.
Their debut long player, “Common Reaction is 11 tracks of Synth Pop goodness. The opening track “Not A Love Song” is sure to be a favourite at queer girl clubs the world over.
The diversity of the album is really what sets it apart from other albums in its genre. The title track, along with other notable songs ‘So Long’ and ‘Dream with Me’ are effortlessly contrasted with the eerie sexiness of ‘Explode’ and ‘Dreamer’.
To some, this album could be viewed as a guilty pop pleasure of sorts. But it is impossible to deny the musicianship and passion of this record, which means that it is definitely worth more than a few spins in your CD player.
