Fielded Unveils Genre‑Bending New Album

Fielded, the experimental noise artist who evolved into an R&B innovator, announced her latest record, "Some Kind of Animal," on October 24. The album fuses 1980s synth‑pop, neo‑soul, and industrial funk, featuring tracks such as the slow‑jam “That Bitch,” a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” with 2000s vibes, and the funk‑heavy “Heaven” that includes a guest verse from Pink Siifu. In a recent interview, Fielded revealed that her Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface and digital studio plugins are essential for achieving a crisp, guitar‑rich sound. She also shared that a pirated full‑length Japanese cyberpunk film, 964 Pinocchio, sits on her tab bar as a source of sonic and visual inspiration. Fielded expressed a strong dislike for AI, hoping it would disappear, and said she is most proud of the title track from her new album. She also admitted to being obsessed with stories about scammers, citing a recent purchase of Alissa Bennett’s "Taxidermist’s Handbook" essays on the subject. The artist’s tagline for a potential biopic is "Freak Today, Freak Tomorrow."
