Are U Mad At Me marks a huge, cowboy boot-wearing step for the Brooklyn-based songwriter. Fields proves that genre is as fluid as sexuality, as the album saunters across country, pop, disco, grunge, and classical with ease. Across 12 tracks, Fields traverses bangers like power pop lead single Party Girl and two-stepping second single Hands Off The Hat (co-written with Grammy award-winning songwriter Melody Walker) all the way to tragic ballads like Apalachicola to Tallahassee (co-written with Karen Pittelman of Karen & The Sorrows) and the closing Uncle Charlies. He makes light of gender-neutral bathrooms marked with unicorns instead of stick figures in the guitar-driven Pronoun Meltdown and calls out a husband cheating on his wife with another man in the tragicomic ballad of You Should Tell Your Wife.

Are U Mad At Me arrives at a pivotal time in the roots music scene and the world at large. Fields, who is now rapidly becoming one of New York Citys queer country leaders through his East Village residency at Lucinda Williams new honky tonk and dive bar and through his musical mentorship work through The Recording Academy has been working tirelessly for this moment for more than a decade. Performing under this moniker since 2013, Fields has released three LPs and two EPs. Hes recorded on queer country pioneers Lavender Countrys 2022 reunion album, Blackberry Rose, and served as the bands touring pianist. Additionally, his 2023 protest song duet with Mya Byrne, Burn This Statehouse Down, made it onto NPR music critic Ann Powers list of favorite songs of the year.
