Legendary singer Ultra Naté, who’s been rockin’ the music scene on her own terms for over 30 years, dropped a bomb in August 2022 with her tenth studio album, ULTRA. Fans and critics were all ears, and the album’s vibes quickly took over charts, radios, and club floors.
Fast forward through a jam-packed year of globe-trotting tours, reminiscing over epic singles like “FREE” and “IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND”, and even teaming up with Paris Hilton for a killer podcast, The History Of The World’s Greatest Nightclubs. Amidst all this buzz, Ultra decided, “Why not give ‘ULTRA’ a little more love?” Thus, the ULTRA Deluxe concept drop was born, now out.
So, what drove her to spruce things up? Ultra says, “The digital age lets artists keep evolving. ‘ULTRA‘ was a hit with my die-hard fans, so giving it a Deluxe twist just felt right.”
This Deluxe edition isn’t just a rehash. Alongside fan favorites like “HAPPY FEELING”, “LAZER”, and “FREE (LIVE YOUR LIFE)”, she’s thrown in four new bangers: “YOU’RE FREE”, “DANGEROUS”, “WORLD ON FIRE”, and “UNBREAKABLE”. “YOU’RE FREE”, a collab with Icona Pop, took the summer by storm. “DANGEROUS (So Dare Me)” with Les Bisous throws back to The Pointer Sisters with a fresh spin. And “WORLD ON FIRE”? It’s all about Ultra’s silky voice and killer lyrics.
But the standout? That’s “UNBREAKABLE”. Teaming up with Piranhahead, Ultra crafted this track as a love letter to the LGBTQ+ community and anyone feeling the weight of the world. In her words, “It’s about love and defiance against oppression.”
30 years into her groove, Ultra Naté is showing the world she’s not just ULTRA, she’s absolutely Deluxe, lighting up the music world one track at a time.
