Disclosure & Fatoumata Diawara – Ultimatum
Esteemed UK duo Disclosure have finally resurfaced with their newest vocal house jam ‘Ultimatum‘. In fact, with an accompanying statement, the duo makes it a point to comment about their silence and rediscovery of new sounds:
Hello world!
Sorry it’s been a while this time.. We have been missing you all immensely, so we wanted to share something we’ve been working on with you now the sun is shining, the trees are green and some dance floors need filling! …— Disclosure (@disclosure) May 17, 2018
The duo consisting of brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence have been known to cause a rumble in the electronic world with plenty of recognizable work including ‘Latch‘, ‘Omen‘, featuring Sam Smith, which was included on worldwide selling franchise FIFA 17, and of course, their ‘You & Me‘ remix which ran absolutely rampant when released. Even to this date, the infamous remix still remains one of the top-played electronic tracks on SoundCloud with a whopping 62 Million plays.
A few months ago we stumbled across an amazing female vocalist named @FatouDiawara. While digging through her discography we discovered this beautiful sample and started experimenting with it. The result is our new song, ‘Ultimatum’. Listen at https://t.co/uSY9JA11Bw pic.twitter.com/nlVGLe3i2q

With ‘Ultimatum’ the brothers entice the listener with a simplistic and rather minimal groove. The experimentation with the Malian singer’s vocal brings about a joyous air just in time for summer. The release timing could not be more perfect, as it also falls right on time for the release of Fatoumata Diawara’s second full-length studio project and 11-track album ‘Fenfo‘. Apart from their newest release, the duo have taken the majority of the year off aside from their Ibiza residency at DC-10. With this release, the duo brings the hope of a soon to be released follow up album, following their last full-length project, ‘Caracal‘.
