Debut CD Small Moments for sale on CD Baby "Victoria Fuller's CD "Small Moments" is a wonderful
listening experience. It is full of those "small
moments" that bring back a memory, make you laugh, or
even bring a tear to your eye. Victoria is an
artist, and like the finest works of art, her songs
continually reveal new subtleties on repeated
listening. She reveals herself to be a gifted
singer-songwriter,with a voice that serves her songs
well." Reviewer: John Rose, host of the weekly internet
music program "Hidden Treasures" on UIC Radio/.
"Front and center is Fuller’s voice, which caresses each melody like a wrapper on candy. She manages to evoke Joni Mitchell without sounding like Mitchell, or Rickie Lee Jones without mimicking Jones. Her supple voice moves quickly and easily through a range of styles including jazz, folk and rock, often in the same song, sometimes in the same chorus. The title track exemplifies this. Lyrically, the fully arranged “Why We Can’t Agree” manages to reconcile pathos and playfulness in a very disarming and surprising way." Reviewer- BRUCE MENIN, Indie - InTune, Small Moments CD Review, August 18th 2007, Vol 3- No. 8 .
Victoria Fuller is both a singer/songwriter and an accomplished sculptor/painter who has exhibited her work at the Chicago Cultural Center, at the Navy Pier large-scale outdoor sculpture show, and extensively throughout the United States.. Her sound is Folk Rock Pop with a jazz blues edge, with a voice that's a cross between Joni Mitchell & Ricky Lee Jones. Her songs tell stories of love lost and found, overcoming struggles, and finding the good in life. A self-taught guitar player, Victoria began writing songs at age 13. In search of knowledge and adventure she traveled to different places in the world before moving to Chicago to get a degree in art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she eventually put down roots. She has won a number of honors from song contests including Billboard, We Are Listening, and Unisong.
