One of the most recognized and renowned voices in house music is back with her first collection of new music since 2001. Ultra Nate has been giving us great songs that have actually aged well over the years, a rarity in this genre of music. Who can forget her classics "How Long," "Found A Cure," "Desire," and the biggest hit of her career, "Free"? She has released a couple of single here and there over the past couple of years, including remakes of "Brass In Pocket" and new mixes of "Free." After a five and a half year absence, Ultra returns in fine form with a fantastic new CD "Grime Silk Thunder," her debut on Tommy Boy. This new set sees the diva headed in a slightly more progressive direction at times, but the results will leave you amazed.
If you are looking for some classic house, it's here too. Tracks like "Lethal Shot" and "Getaway," a duet with long-missing house diva Dajae, will satisfy that craving. Ultra's collaboration with Stonebridge, "Freak On," is an added bonus for those who may have missed the import a couple of years ago. Other hot producers of the moment that have tracks on this CD include Eric Kupper, Craig C., and Funky Junction, who provide the funky progressive beats to "Star (It's Showtime)."
Ultra Nate returns to the scene in a big way with "Grime Silk Thunder." Surrounded by hot beats and fantastic songs, this CD will be in your player all summer long; a welcome return for a dance legend who has been sorely missing over the past few years.
