3 days, 7 lovers & the philisitne - Jay's new 7 track CD available now on CD Baby!

mp3 - $10 / CD - $15
"To stand out from the horde of singer-songwriters in the world of music you need something that marks you as being special; something that causes listeners to realise that they are not hearing more ho-hummery from wailing, angst-ridden, guitar-toting hopefuls. Jay Fraser demonstrates on this CD that he does have something special; that particular something having been developed over the years, and which is reflected in his impressive credentials prior to this release." - Mike Raine, 2008"This EP is an impressive effort from Jay Fraser. It contains songs to fall in love to, songs to miss people to, songs to reflect about life to and songs to lament wasted opportunities to. Fraser currently has some of these songs available for download on the Triple J unearthed website and it will be interesting to see if the Australian public react as favourably to his music as they did to artists such as the Waifs, Lior and the Beautiful girls. 3 days, 7 lovers & the philistine is a beautifully crafted EP that offers an exceptional sample of what Fraser might have in store for future releases." - thedwarf.com.au , 2008
