Uffie: Difficult

Uffie was the bratty electro voice of the mid-2000s—childish vocals and deliberate provocation, the kind of artist who made you uncomfortable in the best way. She worked with Justice, showed up on tracks that felt dangerous and exhilarating and slightly stupid all at once. Then she basically vanished, which somehow felt right. The difficulty wasn’t her music or her image; it was the refusal to explain herself or soften for anyone.
