Clubhouse singer Ultra Naté has come out swinging for trans rights with a new electro-pop anthem that doubles as a rallying cry for trans people of colour.
The American singer, songwriter, record producer and DJ is best known for her dance crossover track “Free”, which shot to the top of the charts in 1997.
She’s channelling that same euphoric energy in her latest banger, “Fierce”, a collaboration with pop artist Mila Jam and
Pose star Angelica Ross. The result is an empowering party track that’s a declaration of “unity, support and inclusion” between Black cis and trans women.
Pose, but now she s showing off her incredible singing voice for a good cause. In her new song Fierce with Ultra Naté and Mila Jam, Ross is lifting up the transgender community with a tune that is just as catchy as it is empowering. While talking with POPSUGAR about the track, Ross explained that she first got involved with the project through her relationship with record producer and FIERCE Project creator Anthony Preston. It was going to be a part of a bigger conversation to talk about the issues facing the trans community, and [he] wanted my participation in helping to amplify the project, she said. Once Ross heard a little bit of the song, she immediately knew she had to get involved.
“Fierce” is an engaging, propulsive, and danceable rallying cry bringing together the formidable talents of acclaimed award-winning actress and host Angelica Ross, international dance pop diva and DJ Ultra Naté, and features the beloved NYC advocate, activist and performer, Mila Jam.
