Following huge acclaim for her 2020 album U kin B the Sun, Vancouver Soul-Americana artist Frazey Ford shares new single “Saul”, a previously unheard song originally recorded for the album. Named for her son, “Saul” is defiantly patient and beautifully cathartic, baring the strength and emotional resolve in Frazey’s music. The song’s arrival follows the release of the "U kin B the Sun" music video, and Frazey’s resounding return to the stage this fall, with much anticipated cross-Canada dates in early 2022.
“Saul” is a languid ode to motherhood, "simply about the devastating amount of love you have for a child," Frazey explains. Her tremulous voice lavishes a deliberate bass-laden groove on this lone outtake from U Kin B the Sun, celebrated for its "heady and infectious" (The Guardian) blend of soul, psychedelia and country. Frazey began writing the song not long after the birth of Saul – who features as the clouds in the “U kin B the Sun” video – and only completed it recently. Sonically restrained yet richly expressive, “Saul” is an outpouring of the particularly vulnerable and earthy experience of love for a child.

MORE ABOUT U KIN B THE SUN
On her masterful third album, Frazey Ford seamlessly inhabits an entire world of shapeshifting rhythm she refers to as “pagan disco,” elevating every beat and groove with the subtle magnetism of her mesmerizing voice as she examines pain and loss telegraphed through a prism of unfettered joy. Ford combats the toxic political climate that surrounds us with an irrefutably bold sense of assurance. With its graceful collision of soul and psychedelia combined with ’70s funk, U kin B the Sun is a body of work that invites both self-reflection and wildly joyful movement, and ultimately sparks a quiet transcendence.
Recorded at John Raham’s Afterlife Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, featuring her Vancouver musicians Darren Parris, Leon Power, Craig McCaul, and Caroline Ballhorn, Erilk Nielsen along with Phil Cook on keys, U kin B the Sun follows Ford’s 2014 release Indian Ocean, an album made with members of legendary Memphis soul band The Hi Rhythm Section.
