About This Album

Daniel Caesar's debut studio album, *Freudian*, released independently in 2017 through Golden Child Recordings, presents a blend of R&B and electronics, infused with soul and gospel influences. Born Ashton Dumar Norwill Simmonds in Scarborough, Ontario, and raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Caesar's musical background deeply informs his work. His lyrics frequently delve into themes of religion, philosophy, and unrequited love, drawing from his childhood experiences. *Freudian* was met with widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers often highlighting its gospel elements. Briana Younger of Pitchfork described Caesar's gospel background as his "not-so-secret weapon," while Kevin Ritchie of Now characterized the album as "an ambling, pleasant account of a 20-something falling in and out of love." Ryan Patrick of Exclaim! praised the album's production and originality, noting that it stands apart from contemporary genre trends.
