Soul singer Lee Fields can sing like nobody's business. He's 100 proof aged in soul and through a series of 7-inch singles, a couple of full length records, Fields & The Expressions return on June 2 on Truth And Soul Records with a new recording My World. He's so old school he's new. Think Mel & Tim, The Dramatics, JB, a little James Carr and Eddie Floyd.Love Comes And Goes - Lee Fields(Via
Got another track by Truth & Soul's Lee Fields from his forthcoming album, My World (pre-order here ). Mad fantastic slow deep soul summertime groove. Snatched this from Stones Throw last week. Lee Fields -" Ladies " New old to the new new. Another leak from Amerie's In Love & War . Track title reminds us of that HBO show that was only on the air for like a day but was mad great none the less. Amerie - " Tell Me U Love Me " [...]
Lee Fields I had the opportunity to interview Leon Michels, co-founder of Truth & Soul Records and frontman of El Michels Affair this morning. We discussed his phenomenal new album Enter The 37th Chamber , which features full instrumental reinterpretations of classic tracks by the Wu-Tang Clan. He was extremely excited about his upcoming project with funk legend Lee "Little J.B." Fields . Leon mentioned that when Truth & Soul started as a record label in 2004, the first mission was to 'record a sweet soul record that would be [...]

Time to talk soul once again. Summer soul. How could anyone not love this? Lee Fields is described as a "pure, gut-bucket soul singer". Having released limited 73s and one album in the '70s, the New York production team Truth & Soul decided to do some Al Green/Questlove shit and get him to record a brand new album of nostalgia-tinged modern soul ballads. The result is superb - you can hear a man who maybe hasn't belted it out quite as hard in quite a long time. The press release for My World also [...]

Truth & Soul Records was generous enough to sort out some ridiculously dope forthcoming material from the imprint. If you've read this blog before, you definitely know I have an ear for this particular label and most if not all of the artists on their roster and I'm an avid record collector -- so win/win. The two downloads are taken from the forthcoming PHB and Lee Fields 45" releases. The bonus beats are from El Michels Affair's A Tribute To Black Moses and Lee Fields' forthcoming album, [...]
MP3: Lee Fields & The Expressions - Ladies can't even begin to communicate how happy I am that Truth & Soul have decided to put out a Lee Fields album on June 2nd. Life is Beautiful again. . . . But I know some of you have been sleeping. Check out BOTH sides of 2007's 7-inch for Truth & Soul. Some of the best below surface soul music I've heard since my creation.
Like their indie label peers at Daptone on the East Coast and Stone's Throw on the West Coast, Brooklyn's Truth and Soul is invested in carving out a space in pop culture for the lost funk of yesteryear and the future grooves of tomorrow. Sure, honchos Leon Michels and Jeff Silverman would be happy to make money along the way, for themselves and for their sometimes forgotten artists. But the label is nevertheless a labor of love that's more about history than it is about profit. That said, Truth and Soul is still bringing funk [...]
I have recently talked about the resurgence of soul music: Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones, etc. So what a perfect time to offer up a prize pack from soul/funk label Truth & Soul Records . The prize pack is for their recent compilation release Fallin' off the Reel Vol. 2, which includes some great tracks (some of which you can download below), one of which i wrote about back in March. Lee Fields - My World (mp3) Bronx River Parkway - La Valla [...]
Singles: Evan Voytas - The Yellow World Of '83 This reminds me of a less depressing Her Space Holiday song: electronic with background fuzz that sounds like it is about to fall apart if not held together by the smooth vocals. The escalating guitar/synth lines along with the mellow vocals really make for a catchy song. Pretty good stuff for a 24 year old from PA. His EP, Introducing Evan Voytas , comes out today. Myspace The Joy Formidable [...]
lee fields & the expressions "honey dove" was easily one of my favorite songs released last year, even though it was actually first released in 2002 & sounds like it could have been released much earlier (like 40 years earlier)...anyways, i first heard it last year on truth & soul's fallen off the reel compilation & after reading last week on soul sides that the same label will be releasing the many moods of lee fields lp in early october, i thought it [...]
