Globally celebrated electro-pop icon Bright Light Bright Light links up with legendary dance icon Ultra Naté for his jolting new advance single "Every Emotion" off of his forthcoming album "Enjoy Youth," out May 17 through YSKWN.

About Bright Light Bright Light's 'Every Emotion,' Ft. Ultra Naté
Since its release, the track has accrued a lot of praise from the likes of Stereogum magazine, which said the song has "a lot of choruses to sell," adding, "This may not hit every emotion, but channeling a lot of houses and a lot of Pet Shop Boys will nevertheless hit an awful lot."
Enjoying the presence of Ultra Naté, who stood as one of Bright Light Bright Light's principal inspirations and source of love when it comes to dance music, the artist recalled his younger years listening to the dance legend's early tracks.
"In school, Ultra's voice was on the radio ALL the time when 'Free', 'Found A Cure' and 'New Kind Of Medicine' were all chart hits," he said in a statement. "I was absolutely in love with her voice and her style. She was the COOLEST thing and definitely helped spark my deep love of dance music."
"Getting to work with her is just such a headspin for teenage me," Bright Light Bright Light continued. "She's the absolute kindest and nicest woman, has the most powerful voice and a discography to die for."
This new single follows up on the artist's lead track "You Want My...," which offered listeners a taste of what his upcoming "Enjoy Youth" record has in store in terms of shimmering glitter-pop tracks inundated with influences like 90s house and synthpop.
Aside from Ultra Naté, the artist also worked with Grammy-nominated artist Mykal Kilgore; Sam Harper, who was behind the vocal performance in the Riton and Nightcrawlers hit: "Friday;" Berri, known for her huge 90s hit "Sunshine After The Rain;" and Beth Hirsch, who features on Air's classic album "Moon Safari.".
