📻  Hey there, been awhile! 365 days to be precise…

The past few weeks I’ve been feeling called to bringing this newsletter back, and it just so happens that today marks a year to the date of the previous post.

So, since I never properly sunset Arpeggio, welcome back yous! Here’s a quick primer on what it’s all about.

The focus of Arpeggio is to provide fresh, curated music as well as data & analysis of the music biz. Curated music is important because, in a world increasingly dominated by streaming companies, there are artists who deserve the spotlight.

Friday Roundup is curated with one single, one album, and one behind the scenes look into a recording artist's creative process to listen to at your leisure over the weekend. The idea is to provide frontline music and a look inside the creative process with both artists and music enthusiasts in mind. You’ll receive a roundup every first Friday.

“Hush” by The Marias (Still Woozy Remix)

Introducing… by Aaron Frazer

Aaron Frazer’s voice might sound familiar to you as the drummer and vocalist for Durand Jones & The Indications.

Aaron’s voice is reminiscent of old soul legends like Al Green and Smokey Robinson.

He got a call from Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys, personally asking him to record this solo album. More on that below…
