Fulton began releasing music in 2016, heavily influenced by the sounds and styles of the 1950s, shoo-bee-doo-wops can be heard across many of his tracks. He released his debut EP in 2018, and followed with 10 singles over the next 3 years. The genre center of these tracks ranged from funk/soul to lofi bedroom pop, all with the common thread of Fulton's 50's infused spirit. In recent years his sound has become more focused as he's begun meshing his retro style with more pristine modern pop sounds. He's currently rolling out his debut album, Sonny Boy. "This record is the most concrete representation of who I am as an artist. It's somewhere between The Beach Boys and Daft Punk."
The first single from Sonny Boy was released in March 2022, the album will be rolled out song by song throughout the remainder year.

Fulton Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dreaming but I'm wide awake
The light is bright but then it fades
I saw you coming baby, baby
I've been running around and looking in your eyes
I've been reading from the memories in your mind
And taking time
Oh baby
You're leading me to drink your water
Take a minute or all my time
And I can learn to see in color
Just from seeing it in your eyes
And if you want to be my lover
Put your body up on to mine, yeah
There's deeper meaning baby
I see you in another place
Let time and color take their shape
I saw you coming baby, baby
I've been falling down a rabbit hole and I
Left my body under layers of the sky
I feel alive
Oh baby
You're leading me to drink your water
Take a minute or all my time
And I can learn to see in color
Just from seeing it in your eyes
And if you want to be my lover
Put your body up on to mine, yeah
You're leading me to drink your water
You're leading me to see in color
You're leading me to drink your water
You're leading me to see in
You're leading me to drink your water
Take a minute or all my time
The song "Water" by Fulton Lee appears to be a love song in which the singer is entranced by the person they are singing to. From the first lines, the listener realizes that the singer is in a tranced-like state, sleeping deeply but also dreaming while awake. He sees the person he's singing to "coming" and he's "been running around and looking in your eyes." Clearly the singer is in a state of fascination and is examining every aspect of the person's being to try to understand them better.
The chorus of the song seems to highlight the effect the person has on the singer, "You're leading me to drink your water, take a minute or all my time, and I can learn to see in color just from seeing it in your eyes. And if you want to be my lover, put your body up on to mine." Here, the singer is emphasizing that everything about the person (including their water) seems to complete him and that he's willing to give all of his time and energy in their relationship. The notion of seeing in color seems to suggest a level of vibrancy and awareness that he has gained from the person he's singing to.
The second verse of the song begins with "There's deeper meaning baby, I see you in another place, let time and color take their shape, I saw you coming baby, baby." Here, the singer is highlighting the idea that the relationship is something beyond just physicality, it's also something deeper and intangible but equally as valuable. He notes that they are both on the same journey but that they both are moving in different directions.
Overall, "Water" seems to be a song about how one person can completely change the perspective of another just by being in their life. The lyrics highlight the way that the person being sung to has the power to transform the singers' mere existence into a much more vibrant and meaningful one.
