Hello, music enthusiasts! We've got a heaping pile of in-depth album reviews for you, sourced from none other than WUVT AM trainees, Bryce McCormick, Gabriel Kadi, Georgia Nickens, Alex Van Marcke de Lummen. Be sure to catch their FM shows Mid-January!
Nick Drake is the quintessential “starving artist”. He began recording music in 1967 to little success or acclaim. He was a folk artist, and hoped to capitalize on the success of other similar artists of that time such as Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to no avail. His first of three albums, Five Leaves Left, was released in 1969, only sold 6,000 units, and got very mixed reviews by the few critics that reviewed it. His following album, Bryter Layter, released in 1971 to more positive reviews but the sales didn’t reflect it. Struggling with depression, substance abuse, and the perceived failure of his music career so far, Drake recorded his third and final album with a bit of a twist.

Falsetto heaven on a cloud of silky, old-timey soul. This is Aaron Frazer's (drummer and singer for Durand Jones & The Indications) second solo album after his aptly-named 2021 premiere, "Introducing...". "Into the Blue" mixes sounds from Motown, Stax, and even some western twang. The instrumentation is multi-layered, with several tracks featuring orchestral arrangements and backup singers. At times though, the album sounds a bit like a movie soundtrack. The best tracks feature Frazer's crooning over driving rhythmic melodies. Overall, this album is a solid choice for a chill evening.
