Frazey Ford

on ‘u kin b the sun’, vancouver-based singer/songwriter frazey ford inhabits an entire world of shapeshifting rhythm, elevating every beat & groove with the subtle magnetism of her mesmerizing voice.

at turns ecstatic & heavy-hearted, gloriously shambolic & deeply purifying, ‘u kin b the sun’ is the outcome of a certain personal transformation that ford has experienced in recent years. with its graceful collision of soul & psychedelia & sometimes ’70s funk (a combination that she jokingly refers to as “Pagan Disco”), it’s a body of work that invites both self-reflection & wildly joyful movement, & ultimately sparks a quiet transcendence. Recommended if you dig The Be Good Tanyas, Brittany Howard, Gillian Welch, Michael Kiwanuka, “a low-key delight, but a delight all the same.” 4/5 - The Guardian
