Ten years ago, a harmonious blend of talent resonated in the studio as legendary artist Ultra Naté joined forces with GRAMMY Award-winner Michelle Williams, the celebrated Destiny’s Child vocalist. Together, they crafted ‘WAITING ON YOU’, a song that would shine brightly on Ultra’s 8th studio album HERO WORSHIP.
Today, Ultra, not just a singer but a DJ, producer, and podcast host, shares a melodious treat to mark this 10-year milestone. She releases an exquisite collection of remixes for “Waiting On You” – including never before heard remixes by dance music titans, Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper. These remixes, with their ethereal piano overtones, stand the test of time, emanating the same charm as they did a decade ago.
“Honouring a decade of the ‘Hero Worship’ album by dropping this epic remix featuring Michelle Williams is an experience full of warmth,” Ultra remarked. And what’s makes it ever better? Releasing it just in time for Frankie Knuckles Day on August 25th, a nod to the ‘Godfather of House Music’.
But the crescendo doesn’t end here. Ultra’s illustrious journey continues in 2023. The buzz surrounding her recent collaboration with Paris Hilton on the podcast, ‘THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST NIGHTCLUBS’, is palpable. Delving into stories from iconic dance venues like NYC’s Danceteria and Berlin’s Berghain, they set the record spinning. Add to this, the global acclaim for her hits ‘FREE’ and ‘IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND’ and it’s evident – Ultra’s influence in the world of dance music is as electric and enduring as ever.
