Do you know your worth? Lindsay Powell is more sure of theirs than they’ve arguably ever been, and they want the world to know. As Fielded, the Brooklyn-based artist has carved out an idiosyncratic and compelling career, making a name for themselves and picking up some stellar co-signs along the way; billy woods was one of their Plus Ones last time out in 2023.
Powell returns today with news of a new Fielded record, and we’re fielding the premiere of ‘Lost Youth’, a sumptuous, spacious song standing at the intersection of jazz-pop and R&B. Of the new song and their forthcoming album’s thesis statement, they say: “I get overwhelmed by the experience of getting older, especially as a femme-presenting, public-facing musician. I fight the feeling of wanting to shrink into irrelevance because I feel “too old” to receive the flowers I’ve worked so hard for in this life. ‘Lost Youth’ is my exploration of my emotions around that; my resignation towards giving too much of a shit, needing validation, my impatience – my youth; youth in general. I’m enjoying growing up, and my work inevitably gets better with time. After all, we must give ourselves our flowers in order to really believe in and sincerely share our gifts with the world.”
Powell is ready to take what’s theirs on Chuckles Deluxe, out Friday May 2nd on their own label, Universally Handsome Records. Get familiar with ‘Lost Youth’ below.
