Enigmatic singer, songwriter, DJ and producer Ultra Naté has once again been riding high on the international radio waves with latest single UNBREAKABLE – and today she delivers the truly joyous video the track demands.
The clip sees Ultra celebrate the song’s message in the heart of her hometown of Baltimore, and was directed by Katie Simbala from Cap2ure Films after meeting at one of Ultra’s legendary Deep Sugar parties, as she explained:
“Music has the ability to strike a chord within us, and help us tap into our emotional and spiritual selves. UNBREAKABLE was always intended to reach that deeper place in our soul, and creating a visual clip to accompany it was so important for me. I wanted the symbolism and narrative of JOY to be conveyed in a way that connected not only to the dance floor, but also in a way that speaks to the trauma we’ve endured, and healing we all need.
““Clean” and “cinematic” were the only points of reference I had when I stumbled upon a young lady named Katie Simbala at my Deep Sugar party. After chatting for a while, and seeing some of the footage of the documentary style shooting she does, I knew it was a great fit to elevate the look and feel of a video to accompany such an important song.”
It’s clear from the video that Ultra’s spirituality and faith are key inspirations to the overall look and feel. “The video was shot so beautifully,” she said, “with very specific iconography of the opulent hat as an art piece itself, the grand church juxtaposed to the storefront church, and the choir also as urban angels, all brought to life here in Baltimore by an amazing crew of talented and dedicated people!
“We are all spiritual beings, and both Katie, her crew, and I, grew up in a spiritual environment. That shared love was what we leaned into to create this piece, and I believe a lot of people will embrace it, and find comfort that they are seen, heard, and affirmed.”
