This said, the rest of the album doesn't disappoint. Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans exhibits exactly what Uffie is good at, and why so many people have been patiently loyal to her ever since Pop The Glock way back in 2007 (something she boasts about in Art of Uff). As a lyricist, Uffie certainly knows how to inject aggression into her songs. Shameless lines, such "when I rock the party you bust a nut" in Pop The Glock gives her music the punch we've become accustomed to. In its entirety however, Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans goes beyond the simple, hard hip-hop demeanor that Uff has built her reputation on. Illusion Of Love is a more elegant composition, using perfectly balanced boy-girl vocals (courtesy of Mattie Safer) together with a refreshing electro-hop bassline.

It's credit to Uffie that she actually uses her voice on Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans. On Hot Chick, Pop The Glock, Robot Oeuf and all her other previous releases, she proved she could rap and rhyme and swear, which is what perhaps led to some skepticism prior to the album's release as many expected little more than that. However, with Mr. Oizo, SebastiAn, Mirwais and her hubby Feadz taking care of the beat production, Uff is provided with the perfect electro-hop platforms to deliver her infectious lyrical dimensions. Oizo's fingerprints are everywhere, Neuneu and Hong Kong Garden demonstrate Quentin Dupiex's influence with distorted and abrasive synth patterns sprayed beneath Uff's vocals. SebastiAn's stylistic impression is even more evident in Difficult, one of the album's true gems. His trademark steady, thumping bassline works melodically with the shimmering piano chords and Uffie's witty chorus.

The age of time it took to complete Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans has without doubt made it Ed Banger's most mainstream release to date. Since bursting onto the French electro scene with Pop The Glock all those years ago, Uffie has gone on to establish herself as the Madonna of the underground and one of dance music's natural pin-ups. Regardless of her less than expansive musical portfolio, she has been causing many a front-row frenzy at her live performances for some time now as if she had been consistently firing out tracks as good as Pop The Glock. Maybe that's what hanging out with Busy P and the Justice boys can do for a girl, but at least now all the hype is more fully merited. But what will she have to boast about?
