DESCRIPTION: Into The Blueis the clearest portrait of who I am as an artist. Its me through and through, says multi-instrumentalist Aaron Frazer. A daring blend of soul, psychedelia, spaghetti western, disco, gospel and hip-hop,Into the Bluerepresents the impressive range of Frazer's sonic talents. Frazer maintains the unmistakable falsetto and classic songwriting hes known for, but plantsInto the Bluefirmly in the now with a hip-hop mentality at its core, weaving together genres and production techniques to form something new. Into The Bluewas conceived, like so many classic records, out of heartbreak. Frazer moved cross-country from Brooklyn to Los Angeles and embarked on a journey thats reflected in the albums themes of grief, loneliness, and searching for healing. Into The Bluereally means heading into the unknown. That has been the last year of my life and I'm still in the blue, Frazer explains. But there are also songs here that celebrate love and the giddiness of a new relationship and all that. That's part of a breakup to me, processing the whole thing, remembering the things that were right as much as the things that were wrong. Frazer wrote on every track and played several live instruments on the album. The title track, Into The Blue, is a haunting, resolute anthem, combining cinematic strings and tough-as-nails breakbeats as Frazer heads west. Here I go, to a place where the broken heart knows, he sings. Its all I can do. Back into the blue. Payback is an explosive dancefloor heater, featuring shimmering tambourines and driving bass lines. Northern soul drums meet snarling fuzz guitar, hurdling towards its epic conclusion. The album features moments of towering arrangements, recalling David Axelrod and Ennio Merricone, balanced by rawness, incorporating iPhone recordings and one-take vocals. ForInto the Blue, Frazer enlisted Grammy-winner Alex Goose as co-producer, known for his crate-digging samples and collaborations with hip-hop artists like Freddie Gibbs, Madlib and Brockhampton. Frazer also experimented with samples for the first time on a record, drawing from unexpected sources like 90s R&B group Hi-Five. ThoughInto the Blueis born out of heartbreak, Frazer hopes it leaves listeners with a sense of optimism. You know, you can still laugh on a day when you're grieving, he says, theres no peaks without valleys, he says, butInto The Bluesees Aaron Frazer at new heights.
