Nick Frater

Buggin’ Out/How About It Girl? (Sara Pt 2)

Big Stir Records

The second single from Frater’s album Earworms is great. Bittersweet lyrics bemoan a relationship that used to be better than it is and how his partner could be doing so much more if they just tried, with music you can dance around the room to, as it high steps all over the place.

“How About It Girl (Sara Pt 2)” is a non-album B-side. Sara dithers, and finally leaves her boyfriend. The music is nimble and steps lively. 

Put the two songs together for one wonderful single, maybe one of the best of the year.
