\"FrYars<\/a><\/p>\n

Good lord, the press release that accompanies this wonderful track by Fryars<\/a><\/strong> informs me that his debut album will be with us in 2014. If you don\u2019t know why am I so startled by this, its because I first picked up on him back in 2008<\/a><\/strong>, so whoa this is some sort of surprise.<\/p>\n

In his 5 years to this point Fryars<\/a><\/strong> the pseudonym of Benjamin Garrett<\/strong>, has matured from his early bedroom recordings to a resoundingly in control pop composer, in control of his direction and growth.<\/p>\n

When I think back to that first introduction of \u201cOlive Eyes<\/strong>\u201d, it\u2019s a polished and slicker version of Fryars<\/a><\/strong> that now stands before us, having cultivated his talent in this interim.<\/p>\n

Following through then in that train of thought, it\u2019s very apt that now as release of his debut album approaches it is preceded with a formally befitting introduction in \u201cCool Like Me<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The electronica is well rounded. The pop element is divinely balanced and the two together make for a contemporary symphonic sound that offers a refined and genial outlook.<\/p>\n

There was a genius in those Olive Eyes<\/strong><\/em> 5 years ago and its come to the foreground today. <\/p>\n
