Stranger than Fiction is the fourth album by singer-songwriter, Ultra Nate. This album was released in the USA on April 24, 2001 on the label, Strictly Rhythm after already released in 2000 in Europe and Japan. This is a concept album where each song is like the chapters of a novel. The album also expands beyond her House music repertoire, exploring disco, soul, jazz, folk, and pop rock

Dancefloor staple Ultra Naté's fourth set employs a varied set of producers and seeks to establish the star as more than just a club singer, and, ultimately, it works. From disco to house to jazz, rock, and folk, this album incorporates a dizzying array of musical styles. Stranger Than Fiction's main drawback is that it lacks a certain cohesiveness but, other than that, it provides for an adventurous musical journey

Stranger Than Fiction is the sixth studio album by dance singer Ultra Nate, released in Europe in 2000 and in North America in 2001. A loose concept album about love, it finds Nate debating whether the physical or romantic aspects of love matter more to her. It incorporates elements of house, disco, and hip-hop. The liner notes and single covers feature images of fake pulp paperback covers, tying into the book’s literary title
