Find all the details below.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, the musician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/blood-orange-shares-two-new-songs-and-announces-album-essex-honey-featuring-lorde-brendan-yates-zadie-smith-and-more-3878989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">featured on the new Blood Orange single \u2018The Field\u2019<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/album\/justin-bieber-swag-review-3878486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also received production credits on Justin Bieber\u2019s surprise album \u2018SWAG\u2019<\/a>. Now, he\u2019s teasing his own LP, which will be a follow-up to 2023\u2019s \u2018Never Enough\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement came last night (July 19), with a video on Instagram with overlain text that read: \u201cI\u2019m trying to write a letter announcing the album, but I want it to be profound and clever. I have this secret desire to think and express a thought that\u2019s never been thought before. But alas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was little any time my dad was disappointed in me or felt as though I needed motivation (or he wanted me to understand him, which I didn\u2019t at the time) he would tell me his carefully curated but true origin story,\u201d Ceaser continued. \u201cHe would tell me of the glory days of the Jamaica tourism industry and how he would sing dinner music at Doctor\u2019s Cave Beach to foreigners from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told me how a friendly couple from Canada heard him sing and brought him to Canada to sing on 3ABN (an Adventist TV station). This would spark his love for the country, and later he would go on to move there and meet my mother. He would tell me these stories and I would listen uninterestedly due to having heard them 1000 times. He would warn me of the dangers this world had to offer, seemingly pleasant but in fact fleeting, and would encourage me to center God in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DMQfsgYp_Ww\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The statement goes on to say: \u201cBeing young is so interesting because how many times does a person have to hear good advice before it becomes cliche? We resent the cliches of our parents until we become them. I am now the herald all I refused to believe in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m now the same age my dad was when he had me, and I can\u2019t help but be embarrassed by how much smarter than him I thought I was; because I went to school in Canada and I could construct sentences more eloquently than he could. That\u2019s the thing about the culture here (another cliche), we continually conflate the sounding smart with wisdom. Lately I\u2019ve come to a place where I realize no one will ever think a thought that hasn\u2019t been thought before, nor will anyone try a thing that hasn\u2019t been tried before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything is vanity. Family is everything. Be truthful and forthright in your dealings. Never forget that god is the only eternal measuring stick for morality. I am nothing, but in my flesh I am Spergy\u2019s Son, and in my spirit I am God\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, Caesar tags <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/bon-iver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bon Iver<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Clairo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clairo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/dev-hynes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dev Hynes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/sampha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sampha<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/rex-orange-county\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rex Orange County<\/a>, and 646yf4t, who are presumed to be the album\u2019s collaborators.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the clip, Caesar wrote the caption: \u201cSon of Spergy. 2025\u201d, implying that the album will be released this year, though no official date has been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, last summer, Caesar was among the artists who performed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Mustafa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mustafa<\/a>\u2018s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/clairo-blood-orange-king-krule-and-more-lead-lineup-for-mustafas-london-edition-of-artists-for-aid-benefit-concert-3769303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London Edition of his Artists For Aid Benefit gig<\/a>, in aid of benefiting humanitarian efforts in both Palestine and Sudan.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Caesar has teased a new album, \u2018Son Of Spergy\u2019, which seems to feature a host of special&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,269,3020,4856,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-279133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-pop","11":"tag-rb","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114889505120177722","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
