“When I got kicked out of school, music saved my life,” Daniel Caesar told Beats 1. “I’m trying to live my hero's journey.” Caesar’s own journey found him questioning God, leaving home, finding love—and later, heartache—and ultimately penning Freudian. This gripping debut LP earned him a spot in the Apple Music Up Next program and eventually a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album. An exquisite mix of R&B, soul, and smoothed-out rock, it includes his breakout single “Get You (feat. Kali Uchis)” and intimate collaborations with Syd, H.E.R., and Charlotte Day Wilson.
