What they're saying: Incredibly high praise from Under The Radar magazine: “If not for the fact that he is still with us, you would swear that Motown legend Smokey Robinson had been reincarnated in the form of Aaron Frazer.” And Christopher Anthony at The Fire Note adds: “Frazer’s swagger and sway drives his debut and I really like how it incorporates a full mix of indie rock, soul, gospel, and hip-hop… I know it is a bold statement for a January release but Introducing… will be one of the more unique listens you hear all year long.”

What we say: We first heard Aaron playing drums and singing background on the excellent records from Durand Jones & The Indications, which we played to death! This is his solo coming out party and proves he’s the real deal. Every time I listen to it I like it more and the production by Black Keys' Dan Auerbach is impeccable!
