Multi - instrumentalist Aaron Frazer says, 'Into The Blue is the clearest portrait of who I am as an artist. It's me through and through.' This album is a bold mix of soul, psychedelia, spaghetti western, disco, gospel, and hip - hop, showing off Frazer's wide - ranging sonic skills. He keeps his well - known falsetto and classic songwriting but infuses a hip - hop mindset, blending genres and production techniques for something new. Born from real heartbreak, like many classic records, the album reflects Frazer's cross - country move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Its themes include grief, loneliness, and the search for healing. 'Into The Blue' means heading into the unknown, which has been Frazer's past year. Yet, there are also songs about love and new relationships. Frazer wrote every track and played multiple live instruments. The title track is a haunting anthem with cinematic strings and tough breakbeats as he heads west. 'Payback' is an explosive dance - floor hit with tambourines and driving bass. The album combines towering arrangements reminiscent of David Axelrod and Ennio Morricone with rawness like iPhone recordings and one - take vocals. Grammy - winner Alex Goose co - produced, and Frazer sampled from unexpected sources like 90s R&B group Hi - Five. Despite its heartbreak origin, Frazer hopes it brings optimism. Tracklist: 1.
