14 Frazey Ford “Azad”

I don’t know much about Frazey Ford as an artist, except she’s Canadian. I heard this song for the first time from a compilation of new music and thought, “This feels like what modern R&B should be in the 2020’s.” “Azad” was my wake-up alarm for about a year and set the tempo for the day. 

The song expertly builds in the end and at it’s height it fades out like it was just stopping by but will continue on without you. The tight feel of the drums, syncopated bass riffs, and when the organ stops by to play, a groove just doesn’t get better.
