The Loved One EP by Apex Frazier
Canadian independent rapper Apex Frazier releases his third project themed around faith, love, and relationships. The concept is theatrical in a sense of following the storyline of two main characters throughout the seven tracks included. The instrumentation deserves the same level of accolades as Frazier himself. The project crosses multiple sonic soundscapes. Listeners are treated to the sounds of acoustic and electric guitars, saxophone, piano chords, and a few surprises. The sporadic tempo changes on a few tracks are a welcomed inclusion testing Frazier's talents. 

Favorite tracks include "Coffee Shop," "Too Long," and the opener "The Naturalist." One of the most enjoyable aspects of the project is the relatability to the reality of most young single men and women of faith face while navigating through relationships. Fans use music as an outlet. A voice to situations not easily handled alone. We see music as a window of common ground hearing how others face the same life obstacles as ourselves. Noah Brown is the only featured artist providing an even more transparent and personal touch by hearing the variety of emotions experienced. Frazier has one of the standout EPs of 2022 with this one.
