Full review
To follow up any Mercury award winning album (‘Stories’ won a much acclaimed Mercury Prize in 2001) is hard enough, but to write, perform, record, mix and produce it all yourself is what most artists honestly say they have not previously ever done. However, that is exactly what PJ Harvey has done, and has come up with this beautifully crafted soul searching album titled 'Uh Huh Her', meant as a simile of how people perceive her character.
This album is in it's own ray of light, and has a wonderful springboard with the first track 'The Life And Death Of Mr. Badmouth'. This is such a personal song, which reflects of her own ''Mr Badmouth'', which she was during her gypsy days that has now slowly faded away and died. This comes across in her performance and the way she chooses to express the lyrics, sets the whole tone for this album.
It carries on producing typical but yet more pure tracks 'The Slow Drug' and 'The End'. These showcase a beautiful lyrical harmony in PJ's unique voice that will have critics calling out for yet more acclaim to be thrusted on an artist who has already been described as ' A Unique voice only to be found Once A Century '.
If you are not a PJ Harvey fan of the past, I urge you to at least listen to this album, as it may have distinct tones from her previous albums, 'Uh Huh Her' has it's own aurora. If you are a fan then my only advice is to buy it now. You will not be disappointed.
