Smooth urban contemporary vocalist Victor
Fields rings in the Valentine season with a new album titled The Lou Rawls Project . It is of course
a tribute to the late, great Lou Rawls
where Fields reinterprets classic Rawls’ tracks with his soulful, velvet
vocals, which have earned him worldwide acclaim and four high charting best
selling CDs. The Lou Rawls Project
infuses elements of jazz, soul, and R&B to present a fresh and contemporary
approach to the tribute collection. Even though the album will feature the
Rawls classics such as “The Girl From
Ipanema,” “Natural
Man,” and “(I'd Rather Drink) Muddy Water” alongside signature staples
like, “You’ll Never Find A Love Like
Mine,” “See You When I Get There” and “Lady
Love,” Fields’ first single is a heart capturing original ballad titled “Let Me Be Good To You.” It will be released on Valentine’s Day and is sure to melt the
hearts of the ladies as well as draw praise from the men. It is by far this
columnist’s preferred cut and is sure to be a hit. Fields’ chuckles at that
comment with pleasing acceptance and says, “It’s funny you say that because that’s
my favorite. I’ll tell you something. When I was recording that I channeled Arthur Prysock. It went like that it
was that deep. That first line ‘you have no right to treat me;’ the beginning
of it felt like Nancy Wilson kind of a feel but the more I got into it, the tone
and the whole phrasing thing I just kept thinking Arthur Prysock . It’s an
incredible track.”
The album was recorded in Minneapolis,
London, Nashville and the San Francisco Bay area and was produced by Fields’
long-time musical collaborator, producer/musician Chris Camozzi, and a coterie of
legendary Bay Area artists that include: Nelson Braxton, Brian Collier, Skyler Jett, Vince
Lars and others. “My purpose is to celebrate the timeless talent of Lou
Rawls and the rich musical legacy that he left behind,” says Fields.
When asked about today’s young artists
whose lyrics contain raw and graphic sexual descriptions about what they’ll do
to each other in bed etc. vs. mature artists who lean more toward romance
rather than rape; what is Fields’ take on that? He says, “As an artist you have
to be who you are. For some people it doesn’t fit so they need to do whatever
they need to do. But the problem is that people need options and their got to
be balance. So it shouldn’t be something where I can’t have a voice because
someone has dictated that this is the flavor of the month or the year

so
we’re not going to listen to what you say. It actually short circuits the whole
system because they’re not listening to what the people want. People want to
chose and have options. There should be variety. So you can have all of that
stuff. I think that you can partake in these things at your own peril . If you
think you can romance a woman with that kind of music it’s at your own peril
but what I am discovering is that young women and women in general get tired of
the misogyny. They want to be romanticized.
They want the old fashion put me on
the pedestal and treat me like a lady. So that’s what gravitates toward what I
do because I’m not in your face with it. I just create a mood or a situation
where you can be romantic without being completely sexual. It can be a platonic
relationship or loving yourself. We need
to have balance so I can have a voice so I’m not sitting outside the party
looking through to window. Art is art but the problem is the decisions that are
made in terms of who gets what and what gets herd. That seems to be to
problem.”
