about

Hot on the heels of Ralf GUM’s 4th studio album titled „Progressions”, which hit number 1 on iTunes in South Africa on day of release, we are excited to present you „Claudette” featuring the outstanding Monique Bingham, taken off the album and now available with remixes by UK Deephouse don Jimpster and Ralf’s own versions.

Ralf GUM’s career spans almost 3 decades now in which he stays highly prolific, as his prominent position in the music scene just was confirmed by the release of his latest longplayer „Progressions”, which received global plaudit, including a 5 star review in UK’s legendary magazine Blues & Soul. GUM shares a long-time working relationship with Monique Bingham who was present on all of his albums so far. Together they released some of the most successful House Music releases ever, including „Kissing Strangers” which was the best selling song of the year on Traxsource in 2008 and „Take Me To My Love” an official chart number one in 2012 in South Africa.

Monique Bingham has been responsible for countless soulful jazz-infused classics during past 20 years and especially her works with Ralf GUM in the last decade solidified her standing as one of the most distinguished vocalist the industry has to offer. Their new outing „Claudette” is a confident protest song, which is putting a positive spin on the struggle of people of color, packing historic incidents such as the story of Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat to a white passenger, into words and melody.

Jamie Odell, aka Jimpster is one of the most revered house producers/DJs and he constantly releases incredible new music which he brings thru his DJ sets across the globe. His skill to inject life, depth, soul, sincerity and attitude into his productions does set him apart from the pretenders. We are excited that Jimpster reworked „Claudette” and he did so in superior manner interweaving his trademark sound to the original feeling and Monique’s amazing vocal.

GOGO Music proudly presents this single release of „Claudette”, which in its original album version already dominated the dancefloors at the „Winter Music Conference 2019” in Miami, now available with all Ralf GUM versions plus outstanding remixes by Jimpster.
