Dance music legend Frankie Knuckles has created a mixture of house and soulful R&B that gets you out of your head and onto the dance floor. On this album, he reunites his classic team in order to take you back in the day, including Eric Kupper on keyboards. and the smooth and sultry vocals of Nikki Richards, whose recorded with the likes of Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross. Nikki is featured on the tracks "Matter of Time", "Journey", "I've Had Enough", and "The Bumpkin Song"

On "What's Going On", Will Downing lends his steamy vocals to this bump and grind track.

For all the old skool house fans, Knuckles gives you a special treat by reuniting with Satoshi Tomiie who co-wrote and engineered the driving house track “Hit the Flow” featuring CeCe Rogers on vocals.

The first single is “Bac N da Day” which features mixes by Cleptomaniacs and David Morales. For the first time in almost 20 years, Knuckles and Jamie Principle teamed up to give you this funky track with happy melodies.

This is the first album in 7 years to feature all original material; The Godfather of House has made another instant classic. Frankie Knuckles “A New Reality” is a roller coaster of soulful sounds that will appeal to fans of both Dance/Electronic and R&B/Soul.
