Ultra is an AUTOMATIC Hit


The Ultra Dance Diva is back.


After a 5-year hiatus, she's still the reason why Maddie or Cher will never gain her level of credibility in the genre.


She who can be as camp as Geri or Kylie and not be associated with 'fever' or 'disco'.


Don't get confused however, for Ultra does House music; not your regular pop/dance affair.


Since both album and lead-off single are hotter-than-hot, I'll rave about each.:-)


The lead-off single and video 'Automatic' is a remake of the Pointer Sister's early Eighties hit.


But Ultra injects her royal sexy huskiness into it like none other. Think a deeper Macy Gray meets Erykah Badu sensibiities and Tina Turner rock-chic.


The electro-synth and aura which only Ultra can deliver is evident. But this time, with new influences and confidence, she injects a come-hitherness to great affect, making this song a smouldering trail blazer for acts to come.


If there is one aritst who's capable of making an old hit become a new and bigger hit, other than Whitney Houston, Ultra's it.


For the video, not seeing it is as sinful as the video itself.

It indeed brings the exact meaning to the song 'Video killed the Radio star'.


Not unlike George Michael's 'Freeek', where he coos about Cyber Sex, one moment, she's a leather Dominatrix and next she's a disturbing Blow Doll.

Then of course, she had male models with perfect pecs going orgasmic in front of their lap tops (but isnt' leaving your lapie down there bad for your ,erm, jewels, no?)YouTube ratings are through the roof for good reason.


For the GST album (laugh but whatta clumsy name just like Gwen Stefani's 'Love Angel Music Baby' album), the first single 'Automatic' went straight to #1 on both the Digital Downloads chart as well as the Billboard Dance Chart. And the second single, 'Love's the Only Drug' is in the Top 3 already too.


So, nuff said, this album is spanking good. ^^


More progressive yes, but all hail a welcome return for a dance legend who has been sorely missing over the past few years.
