Aaron Frazer - Into The Blue

Into The Blue is the second solo studio album by American contemporary soul musician Aaron Frazer, released in June 2024 via Dead Oceans Records.

Aaron Frazer is the co-lead vocalist and drummer of American contemporary R&B and soul group Durand Jones & The Indications.

"Into The Blue is the clearest portrait of who I am as an artist. It's me through and through," says multi-instrumentalist Aaron Frazer. A daring blend of soul, psychedelia, spaghetti western, disco, gospel and hip-hop, Into the Blue represents the impressive range of Frazer's sonic talents.

Frazer maintains the unmistakable falsetto and classic songwriting he's known for, but plants Into The Blue firmly in the now with a hip-hop mentality at its core, weaving together genres and production techniques to form something new.

Into The Blue was conceived, like so many classic records, out of actual heartbreak. Frazer moved cross-country from Brooklyn to Los Angeles and embarked on a journey that's reflected in the album's themes of grief, loneliness, and searching for healing.

"Into The Blue really 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."

This album is a limited edition on frosted coke bottle clear coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in the US via Dead Oceans.
