Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Following the sold out release of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Problems & Pain’, Fulton Street has quickly established themselves as one of Australia’s most eminent soul acts. ‘Told How to Walk’ is the first release from songwriters Shannen Wick and James Stroud's record label, STOIC RECORDS!

'Told How To Walk' -
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.

'Real Woman' -
With a heartfelt and dignified new sound, ‘Real Woman’ is a triumphant ode to the strength of women everywhere. Lovingly self-produced by the band, Fulton Street returns to a vintage sound with this classic soul ballad which simmers to an exultant climax at the end – “you don’t know, but you missed out”. ‘Real Woman’ explores the heartache of lost love before coming to the empowering conclusion that true worth can only be defined by one's self.

[Verse] Boy finds the gates But he’s told turn around Hey, there are rules here No bare feet on the ground I watched on too stunned to make a move What I should have done was something to help you [Pre-chorus] And he’s told how to walk on his Told how to walk on his Told how to walk on his own land Yes, he’s one with the earth But he’s told how to walk He’s told (repeated) [Chorus] I should have helped you But I just stood and watched [Verse] Now I know she had a job to do But I find that's no excuse Cause it takes nothing To be kind, to show love None of which she showed to you I watched on too stunned to make a move What I should have done was something to help you [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] What right did she have to take your freedom from you? (repeated) [Bridge] Talking at you Talking down to you Talking bout your rights I should’ve fought the fight for you (repeated) [Outro]

[Verse] I’m standing here And I’m feeling numb When she says she’s your girl My heart sinks hard And I pretend to smile At the fact that you’re moving on [Chorus] Cause you never made me feel Like a real woman And I never was good enough for you [Verse] I’m standing here With my head held high No, I won’t be the jealous kind But my heart still hurts She and I are one and the same And I ask myself, why god, why? [Chorus] Hey, you don't know but you missed out on a real woman [Bridge] And I know I wasn’t easy And I know I’m not perfect, no I'm not And I know that you never loved me But I was too blind, I didn’t see it I was too blind, too blind [Chorus] Hey, you don’t know but you missed out (repeated) [Outro] I’m standing here With my head held high No, I won’t be the jealous kind
