Tru:FRAZ Unleashes Debut Album ‘Sesh Fiend Confession Tap’

With Sesh Fiend Confession Tape, Tru:FRAZ builds his debut around storytelling rather than simply presenting a collection of songs. The 16-track project documents a turbulent period through stories, confessions, humour and self-reflection, drawing on experiences surrounding partying, addiction, relationships, grief and self-destruction.

The album’s strongest defining feature is its willingness to let different sides of its central character coexist. Fraser, Fraz and Frazzle represent different parts of the artist’s identity, from the person living through the experiences to the artist examining them and the character seemingly responsible for much of the chaos.

That concept allows the album to move between emotional and ridiculous moments without abandoning its underlying honesty. The project’s dark humour sits alongside more vulnerable material, creating a portrait of a period that was clearly complicated rather than easily categorised.

The tracklist reinforces that sense of movement. “Confessions” establishes the premise, while songs such as “27 Club”, “Benzodiazefraz”, “3AM”, “Self Medicate” and “Down” sit alongside more reflective titles including “Painting Pictures”, “Flowers”, “Letter To My Soul” and “Fraser’s Eulogy”. “MAD”, the project’s focus track, brings the campaign around the album into its current chapter.

“Where U Been?” also has a place in the project’s history as Tru:FRAZ’s first official single and his first experience properly editing a music video. Its visuals connect Queenstown, New Zealand, beneath the M40 near Uxbridge and the cliffs of Portugal, reflecting the geographical journey that also informs his identity.

That English Kiwi background is central to the wider story. Raised in England before moving to New Zealand, Tru:FRAZ draws from UK underground hip-hop while incorporating experiences from his years in Aotearoa.

Sesh Fiend Confession Tape ultimately works as a document of a particular period, but Tru:FRAZ does not present it as the end of the story. Instead, completing the album appears to have given him a starting point for whatever comes next.
