Aaron Frazer, Bring You A Ring | Track Review

R&B singer/songwriter Aaron Frazer brings the heat with his cool, sophisticated energy on his single tailor made for couples, “Bring You A Ring.”

“Today I’m gonna bring you a ring / Today I’m gonna bring you a ring .” Aaron Frazer is an incredibly talented musician, period.  Frazer is best known as a member of Durand Jones & The Indications, playing drums and being co-lead singer alongside Durand Jones.  However, it should be noted that the soulful crooner released a fabulous debut album, Introducing…, in 2021.  Once more, on his single, “Bring You A Ring”, Frazer brings the heat with his lovely, pure vocals.  His approach is chill but incredibly potent.

Stylistically, as proven once more by “Bring You A Ring,” Aaron Frazer is an R&B singer, embracing neo- and retro soul. “Bring You A Ring” checks off all the boxes of a contemporary soul record, with its marvelous guitar accompaniment, robust bass line, and, of course, Frazer’s skill on the drums.  Of course, it is his voice that takes the cake – beautiful to the nth degree. The songwriting (courtesy of himself) is authentic, chivalrous, and poetic:

“You make me float like a feather

When I’m unsteady like a ship from a storm

Been through it all together

Withstood the pressure and this diamond formed.”

Sigh, beautiful! Also, shout out the flute solo, which ups the ante. All told, “Bring You A Ring” marks another incredible performance and song from Aaron Frazer, an artist many more folks need to be buzzing about.
