The Frost Duo are willing to take a leap of faith To Be With You in their silky new single — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The latest offering from the Scranton, PA twosome’s latest EP Play Nice, To Be With You is a ’70s/’80s-style smooth-jazz ballad that takes you on an unhurried, mellow journey of seduction. LeahBeth Evans’ voice slinks and shimmies through the backdrop of warm analog keyboards and velvety jazz guitar as she boldly inquires, “Can you tell me what you’re doing tonight/ Can you tell me what you’re doing next year/ Cuz I need to be with you.”
From a lyrical aspect, Play Nice takes the listener not only through the consciousness of Evans and multi-instrumentalist / composer Christian Gratz, but also introduces us to the friends and acquaintances who have filled their ears with their own experiences of finding love and experiencing loss, anger, and even impending doom from the recent global crisis we’ve all experienced. From a sonic aspect, Play Nice is a celebration of the duo’s love of smooth jazz, traditional compositions, and even rock music.
In 2015, LeahBeth and Christian met on Facebook and began corresponding about their love of music. After about a month, he invited her to sing a few songs at a gig in an Italian restaurant. After their set, the owner hired them to perform twice a week for the summer. The gig convined the two lovers that the sky was the limit, and that they would continue to make beautiful music together.
Throughout the years, they has performed at some prestigious and renowned American venues, including Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, Club Macanudo in New York City and the Crystal Springs Resort. After years of traveling, The Frost Duo decided that they wanted to dive deeper into their love for smooth jazz, and so they began writing and recording. Since then, they have had recordings land on the jazz charts and most-added listings.
