The sinister sounding “Can’t Leave It Alone” lets Frazer show off his high range while the keys, horns and foot tapping beat make this song a favorite. His voice is his strength as it stands out in modern soul music today for sure and reminds me of classic vocals from the likes of Smokey Robinson and Philip Bailey.įrazer has a smooth delivery no matter what tempo is in front of him. What makes Frazer so unique is that this record never misleads you to believe it is not a falsetto album. Knowing his resume I was already certain Introducing… would be good but the additional touch of Auerbach co-writing and producing plus the inclusion of talented session players which features members of the Memphis Boys (Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin), symphony percussionist Sam Bacco, and members of the Daptone-Big Crown Records universe, turns Introducing… into a can’t miss soul home run. It also grabbed the notice of Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach which reached out and invited Frazer to release his solo debut on his label Easy Eye Sound. Has creativeness and voice was the perfect balance for the band but also put a large spotlight on the player in the back. One element that helped make the last record from Durand Jones and The Indications, American Love Call, a success was the quality songwriting and elegant falsetto coming from drummer Aaron Frazer.
