Volcanic soul act Fulton Street has released their much anticipated single “Disappointment”. The latest self-produced track from indie label STOIC RECORDS is a fast-paced and passionate tirade from a woman wronged.

This full-bodied track layers robust vocals with cinematic strings, funky rhythm and energetic organ to create a single reminiscent of an enraged Betty Davis meets Bobby Womack. “Disappointment” is an energetic tune about being fed-up with romantic mediocrity and disrespect. With all the beats of a 60s soundtrack, this latest single from Fulton Street is an empowered and unforgettable moment to say ‘no more’.

This explosive single was recorded on tape in Castlemaine with Alex Bennett at Sound Recordings. The horns and strings were tracked remotely in Tasmania during the peak of lockdown. Together these elements converged to create an expressive new sound for Melbourne’s premier soul band, Fulton Street.

Disappointment

'Weight of the World’ is the brand new single from Melbourne’s favourite party band Fulton Street. This latest self-produced single is energetic and undeniably danceable. ‘Weight of the World’ tells the familiar migrant tale of struggling in a new land that doesn’t accept you. 

Funky guitar riffs and raspy vocals set the tone for this spirited track. Based on the experiences of lead woman Shannen Wick’s own migrant parents, ‘Weight of the World’ is about the sacrifices we make for a better life. With over 7.6 million migrants living in Australia, this tale is a familiar one for many. 

Recorded to tape for that vintage flavour by Alex Bennett at Sound Recordings, Castlemaine, the horns were tracked remotely in Tasmania during the peak of lockdown. This raw and funky single has that undeniable Fulton Street sound that has been missed from Aussie dancefloors.

Written after witnessing blatant and casual racism aimed at a young indigenous man attending a music festival, ‘Told How to Walk’ recognises the plight of the traditional owners of this land and the discrimination they still face in modern Australia. The raw vocal sound and passionate horn hooks team up in sharp rebuke of Australia’s dark colonial history. The song also acts as a plea for greater respect, leading towards unity between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians moving forward. In an act of solidarity, Fulton Street will be donating $5 dollars of each physical copy of the single sold to 'The Healing Foundation.'
