Ultra

Ultra is the debut studio album by English pop band Ultra, released in 1998 by East West Records. Produced by former Tears for Fears member, Ian Stanley, the album was mainly performed and co-written by James Hearn, Jon O'Mahony, Nick Keynes and Michael Harwood. Before its domestic release in the United Kingdom, Ultra achieved early success across Southeast Asia. Its first singles, particularly "Say You Do" and "Say It Once" helped establish the group in overseas markets. The album was subsequently released in several Asian territories in mid-1998, later extended to Europe, where "Say It Once" charted on the Italian airplay charts and the band performed at the country's Festivalbar. Critically, some reviewers praised its strong pop melodies, while others criticized it for lacking originality and sounding too similar to other boy bands. By early 1999, the album reached gold-level sales in Italy and Indonesia, and debuted and peaked at number 37 on the UK Albums Chart.
