Marki Fields - Caught Up [CD]

A rising star on the Philly Soul scene, vocalist Marki Fields has been making a name for herself since her discovery by legendary Philly Soul producer and Society Hill chief Butch Ingram, who has put Marki's unique talent to work in the studio on several Society Hill releases. Marki garnered rave reviews for her duet with Society Hill label mate Donnie Tatum on their updating of Maxwell's smash hit "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" and for Marki's beautiful rendition of Stevie Wonder's 1984 chart-topper "Overjoyed." Marki was picked as one of the featured vocalists at a recent Phyllis Hyman tribute and she has made appearances all over the Northeast, wowing audiences with her authentic Philly soul sound. Ingram decided it was time that Marki exposed her talents to a wider audience and invited her into the studio to record her long overdue full-length album debut, appropriately titled "Caught Up." Enlisting the help of the Society Hill Orchestra and the Ingram Brothers band, Marki does justice to the Philly Soul sound with an awesome collection of hand-picked songs, hand-picked. Featured on the full-length is a bonus extended mix of Marki's critically acclaimed take on Maxwell's "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" and also includes a sensational duet with Donnie Tatum, updating Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes' "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon." Blessed with a unique vocal style and a strong connection to soul music of the past, Marki Fields is destined to bring the new sound of Philly Soul into the future.
