Vancouver-based neo-folk-soul singer-songwriter-actress Frazey Ford has some good news to share. She will be releasing her third studio album ‘U kin B the Sun’ on February 7th via Arts & Crafts records.
From the presser “At turns ecstatic and heavy-hearted, gloriously shambolic and deeply purifying, the new album is the outcome of a certain personal transformation that Ford has experienced in recent years. With its graceful collision of soul and psychedelia and sometimes ’70s funk, it’s a body of work that invites both self-reflection and wildly joyful movement, and ultimately sparks a quiet transcendence.”
“To expand that sense of presence, Ford made a point of preserving many of the lightning-in-a-bottle moments captured during those first sessions for ‘U kin B the Sun.’ As a result, the album embodies the same untamed and ineffable energy that guided its creation. “There’s certain songs that just appear and there’s no art to it,†says Ford. “To me those songs have some kind of spiritual quality—sometimes I feel like they’re these different voices that you’re able to channel. There really was something magical about the improvisational aspect and how that shaped the album and such a joy in the experience of really reveling in what we were all creating together.â€
Casa Twang has been a fan of Frazey Ford from the beginning and is looking forward to hearing ‘U kin B the Sun’ in its entirety. Until then have a listen to the soulfully simmering new cut from ‘U kin B the Sun’ below.
Of the single Ford says “There’s something to that song that’s about survival, and about the love that my siblings and I have for each other in coming through an intense situation together.â€
