Daniel Caesar is gearing up for a major return this fall. The Canadian singer-songwriter has announced his fourth studio album, Son of Spergy, due out October 24 via Republic Records. The new record follows 2023’s Never Enough and arrives at a moment when Caesar is once again stepping into the spotlight of contemporary R&B.
The announcement comes with the release of a new single, “Call on Me,” produced by Caesar alongside Jordan Evans, Matthew Burnett, and Rami Dawod. The song joins the previously unveiled “Have a Baby (With Me),” co-produced with Evans and Simon Hessman, on the upcoming tracklist. Together, these singles suggest an album that balances Caesar’s soulful vocal style with sleek modern production.
Since his breakout debut Freudian in 2017, Caesar has built a reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in modern R&B. Tracks like “Get You” and “Best Part” introduced him to a global audience and established his ability to merge gospel, soul, and contemporary pop. His sophomore album, Case Study 01 (2019), leaned into experimental territory, while Never Enough offered a more streamlined sound, highlighting his melodic instincts and confessional lyricism.
Over the years, Caesar has collaborated with an impressive list of artists. His work with Justin Bieber on the global hit “Peaches,” alongside Giveon, earned him mainstream recognition far beyond the R&B world. He has also contributed to projects with Blood Orange and has continued to experiment with cross-genre partnerships that expand his reach.
The upcoming album reflects a new chapter in Caesar’s catalog. While full details of the tracklist are still under wraps, the early singles point to a record that explores both intimacy and grander sonic textures. With Evans and Burnett — longtime collaborators who have shaped Caesar’s sound since the beginning — back in the fold, Son of Spergy is positioned to be a record that honors his past while pushing forward.
In the time since Never Enough, Caesar has maintained a steady presence through collaborations and live performances. Fans have followed his evolution closely, noting his ability to toggle between stripped-down vulnerability and polished production. Son of Spergy promises to continue that trajectory, offering songs that feel both personal and designed for wider audiences.
With the release date locked for late October, anticipation is building for what Caesar has in store. His previous albums have shown a willingness to shift gears with each new era, and Son of Spergy looks set to continue that pattern. For longtime listeners, the record is likely to be another reminder of why Caesar remains a defining voice of contemporary R&B — an artist equally comfortable with tenderness and ambition.
