Frazer moved cross-country from Brooklyn to Los Angeles and embarked on a journey that’s reflected in the album’s themes of grief, loneliness, and searching for healing. “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003eInto The Blue\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereally means heading into the unknown. That has been the last year of my life and I’m still in the blue,” Frazer explains. “But there are also songs here that celebrate love and the giddiness of a new relationship and all that. That’s part of a breakup to me, processing the whole thing, remembering the things that were right as much as the things that were wrong.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrazer wrote on every track and played several live instruments on the album. The title track, “Into The Blue”, is a haunting, resolute anthem, combining cinematic strings and tough-as-nails breakbeats as Frazer heads west. “Here I go, to a place where the broken heart knows,” he sings. “It’s all I can do. Back into the blue.” “Payback” is an explosive dancefloor heater, featuring shimmering tambourines and driving bass lines. Northern soul drums meet snarling fuzz guitar, hurdling towards its epic conclusion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"paragraph-break\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__br\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album features moments of towering arrangements, recalling David Axelrod and Ennio Merricone, balanced by rawness, incorporating iPhone recordings and one-take vocals.
