Ready to form another band after a five-year hiatus from music, Hailey went to see Grey perform with Mellowdrone. "I had been waiting to meet someone who had her talent and drive," Hailey says. "After hanging out a couple of times, it was obvious we were a great match." For her part, Grey says she was ready to leave behind session work and focus on a creative collaboration. "I've wanted to write and produce my own music, but was too busy touring as a background performer."
The result of their efforts was the EP I See Red, which was recorded over several months in a bedroom at Grey's Los Angeles home. ("Vocals were done in the bathroom," Hailey says, "it was very sexy.") Produced by Grey and mixed by Al Clay (who has worked with the Pixies, Frank Black, and Blur), I See Red, with its laser-sharp melodies, ethereal harmonies, lush string arrangements, and muscular drums, is a great introduction to the duo.
Less than a year after the release of I See Red, Uh Huh Her will unveil their full-length debut, the accessibly melodic Common Reaction, on August 19th. Produced by Al Clay … it was recorded in January at Clay’s L.A. studio, a world away from Grey’s bathroom …. The effort is an extension of the band’s previous musical foundation, as evidenced by focused tracks like "Not a Love Song," "Wait Another Day" and "Explode."
"We wrote a lot of it before we went in the studio, but we wound up re-cutting everything," Grey says of the 11-track album. "We wanted to make a commercially appealing record. The songs aren't specifically poppy but appeal to a wide variety of people."
"Sometimes the song just calls for it and you can't fight the pop," Hailey laughs. "I like that it's eclectic and not just one thing. That bores me in a record. We never wanted this band to be small."
Common Reaction is now available.

Uh Huh Her Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't feel at all
Don't tell me what to say
There's no need to tell
Don't want to hear your intellect
Just don't think at all
Cause all your words
Are meaningless
Won't fall for me
Oh, the past it's getting me
There's no end in sight
If I could just get rid of it
I will try, I will try
Don't want to psychoanalyze
I'm just not the type
Cause all those words
Are meaningless
I just won't fall,
Won't fall for it
Lie down
Just give it up
Dance with me
Lights out
Falling away
Into me
Don't stop
Just let it go
Come with me
Stay down
Cause you're
Burning me up
Dance with me
Oooh, oooh
Lie down
Just give it up
Dance with me
Lights out
Falling away
Into me
Don't stop
Just let it go
Come with me
Stay down
Cause you're
Burning me up
Dance with me
The song "Dance With Me" by Uh Huh Her has a melancholy and reflective tone, exploring themes of loss, regret, and the struggle to move on from the past. The opening lines express a sense of detachment and distance, with the singer walking away and not wanting to be told what to say or think. The repetition of the phrase "meaningless" suggests a feeling of disillusionment with communication and the inability to connect with others on a deeper level. The singer yearns for a release from the burden of the past, but acknowledges that it may be a difficult and ongoing process.
The chorus offers a sense of escape through dance, with the invitation to give in and let go. The use of the phrase "burning me up" suggests both passion and pain, as the singer struggles to reconcile their mixed emotions. The song's final lines are sung in a soft, almost whispered tone, conveying a sense of surrender and vulnerability.
