Genre: Soul, retro pop

Comments: Introducing... is the Dan Auerbach-produced solo debut from Aaron Frazer of Durand Jones & the Indications. From the record label: "Soft-spoken with the look of a slightly disaffected 1950s matinee idol, Aaron Frazer possesses a unique voice that's both contemporary and timeless... The 12 songs on Introducing... -- a mixture of mid-'60s soul with Auerbach's particular sensibilities ('Over You'), songs with a message in the key of Gil Scott-Heron ('Bad News'), and uplifting tales of love told through a blend of disco, gospel, and doo-wop ('Have Mercy') -- were recorded in a week at Auerbach's antique and ephemera-laden studio in Nashville following a rapid and prolific songwriting session."
