    He has released one of the early contenders for finest debut of 2021. The appropriately titled Introducing... justifies the spotlight status he clearly deserves.

    All too often, this type of record can become bogged down by its own reverence for the period it seeks to re-create, but on Introducing..., Frazer manages to overcome the vintage doldrums with good songwriting and top-notch arrangements.

    Ultimately, ‘Introducing...’ thrives because of how natural it feels – a record as authentic as the dust on Dan Auerbach’s control booth, it places Aaron Frazer as a golden-voiced embodiment of this modern soul age.

    "The Vocal really breaks the perspective"

    This album by his own is already delightful, but the vocals is the topping of the cake.

    Aaron soft falsetto matches so well to Soul music, conflicting with R&B, compensated by a clearly and poweful timbre.

    The lyrics are fine, it's not excepcional, but it's chatchy for sure, it have his moments.
