When Jade Elektra became upset with the rise of gay bashings in New York City during the spring of 2013, she wanted to do something special for her Gay Pride performances in Toronto. She had always loved Carl Bean’s Gay Disco Classic, “I Was Born This Way”. To further drive home her message, she also decided to do a vocal mash-up with the R&B classic “Respect Yourself” by The Staple Singers. Known for the Bitch Track genre created out of the Underground Ballroom Scene as featured in the documentary “Paris Is Burning”, most had no idea that Jade also is a vocalist and has done back up vocals on many recordings over the last decade.

When she posted her performance on YouTube, she had no idea that she would be signed to Ber’lin Records and that her idea would turn into a remix album. “Jade Does Ber’lin” is a collection of two covers and a brand new Bitch Track called “Bitch This Way”. With R&B legend, Leroy Burgess as her vocal coach during the recording session and the blessings of Chris Spierer (one of the songwriters for "I Was Born This Way") and Archbishop Carl Bean himself, how could she go wrong?

You don't have to be gay to enjoy this, you just have to be.
