Song You Need: Fielded and Wolf Weston’s divine feminine

The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist.

Fielded's Plus One is the latest addition to the Backwoodz Studioz catalog. As their second record on the label, the songstress goes even bigger, with features from the likes of Felicia Douglass, Fatboi Sharif, They Hate Change, and of course, Armand Hammer's billy woods and Elucid, among others. But a standout for us on the record is "Goddess Woes" featuring Wolf Weston.

Plus One showcases the singer's spectacular vocal range, as they flow frictionlessly across a variety of genres and collaborates with a range of rappers and other vocalists. “I’ve offered myself in blips and breaths and moments, sighing under a powerful lyric, or punctuating another vocalist’s breakthrough performance,” Fielded said in a press statement. “We wanted to see what could happen when I brought those same artists in to add flourishes to my visions and depth to my stories.”

In "Goddess Woes," the two singers exhibit smooth jazz-infused R&B with their velvety vocals drifting into one another over the Child Actor-produced beat. Fielded fluidly croons about the heavenly beings within her that help purge the self-cynicism while Wolf Weston gives herself to the elements, singing smoothly about releasing worry about things out of her control. "I won't let you change your story suddenly because I don't need you to tell me my truth," Fielded descants, ending the song. "It's no use."

“It is an album telling full stories, walking through valleys and cities, landscapes rich and sometimes heartbreaking,” Fielded added regarding Plus One. ”No one is filler. Everyone has been welcomed and valued. Everyone made the work weird, wonderful and honest, and for that I am grateful.”

Plus One is out now via Backwoodz Studioz. Listen to "Goddess Woes" below.
