Ultra Naté celebrates her 30th year in the game. Here explains why now was the perfect time to revisit this perennial classic.
“When my song “Free” became a classic worldwide there was and continues to be so much love around it as it is now part of everyone’s life story. There are countless memories wrapped up in it for many people and tons of “unofficial” bootlegs!!
For many years I wouldn’t even consider re-imagining and re-releasing it officially but there comes a time when the universe forces us to stop, pay attention and recognize that we are in a defining moment and that moment is now. There are so many around the world that need the energy, hope and most of all “empowerment” that “Free” embodies.
At a time when it’s needed most – we may not be able to dance together globally right now but we can raise our voices in solidarity and sing ‘you’re free to do what you want to do!’”
This infectious house stormer has now been remixed by a host of talents reimagining the classic from anthemic disco pop and future rave to deep and jazzy underground house and even a goth-y dark pop take! The selections included on the=is remix e.p. are sure to keep your mixtapes, playlists and DJ sets rocking.

The iconic Ultra Naté has also been ranked as one of Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time” dance artists. A world-renowned singer, songwriter, DJ, producer, label owner and promoter, Ultra Naté has toured the world extensively, released numerous albums and several international hits.
“Free” was most recently sampled by MNEK for his single, “Paradise,” and on “Ego Death” featuring Kanye West, Tinashe and Skrillex from Ty Dolla $ign’s acclaimed full length, ‘Featuring Ty Dolla $ign’
