AFTER RELEASING HIS 5 PREVIOUS ALBUMS ON THIEVERY CORPORATION'S EIGHTEENTH STREET LOUNGE IMPRINT, VOYEUR IS THE DEBUT ALBUM ON URSULA'S OWN INSECT QUEEN MUSIC LABEL! For this new adventure, Ursula is bringing in a real tropical summer feel. "SUPERSONIC SOUNDS" is a Latin funk bomb that name checks Ursula and is the perfect theme song to lead things off. "CLAP YOUR HANDS" harks back to some classic big beat break action with it's infectious call and response party vibe. "BLAST OFF!" features legendary New York City drag queen Lady Bunny in this electro disco monster that sounds like Sylvester and Patrick Cowley hanging with New Order in outer space! "TROPICAL INTENTION" is just that... a serious salsa house killer. "BALEARIX" features the talents of Federico Aubele on Spanish guitar reminiscing to that classic Balearic/Cafe Del Mar period but tweaked for today. "I GOT WHAT YOU NEED" brings the tempo down a pinch and features the sounds of neo-mod-soul group The Lovers Key in this dusty cinematic hip hop lovers lament. Next up, we take a plunge into "FADED DENIM WASH", a slow motion cosmic nu-disco number drenched in summer sunshine. Chillwave? Vaporwave? Nah, just faded denim wave! "DANCING UNDERGROUND" flirts with classic French touch ltered disco house and features some slinky live bass from Mocean Worker channeling his inner most Bernard Edwards of Chic and topping it off with some Zapp-esque vocoder brilliance from QDUP. We wrap things up with a lush version of the 60's classic "THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE" featuring the velvet baritone voice of Puddles Pity Party, a 6ft 8in towering inferno of sad clown crooner who absolutely owns this take on the epic torch song. Ursula's brought in Tom Coveney from the UK duo Psychemagik to master it all, giving it that unique sheen. The rst single "FADED DENIM WASH" comes with some action packed remixes from the likes of Seahawks, Abelard, Payfone and Robot 84. Upcoming remixes from Fonkynson, Skeewiff, Renegades Of Jazz, Sons Of Satin, Eli Escobar, Manotti Da Vinci and Minimatic are already in the can for some of the other album tracks.
