Daniel Caesar's surprise release of his sophomore album CASE STUDY 01 boasts features from Brandy, Pharrell, John Mayer and more.

With little advanced notice, Daniel Caesar releases his sophomore album CASE STUDY 01, boasting features from Pharrell , Brandy and John Mayer . This fresh selection of songs still has that romantic Daniel Caesar sound — especially in the chord progressions in "Open Up" and "Too Deep To Turn Back" — but many of these new tracks offer a switch-up from the dreamy acoustics heard on the artist's previous releases, Freudian and Pilgrim's Paradise.

Daniel Caesar: Tiny Desk Concert

Caesar enters a realm of a more electric and beat-heavy sound with these new 10 songs. As with most of his discography, the lyrics in the album continue to follow the winding emotional path that Caesar conveys through his music. What separates Ceaser from other artists is his relatable range of emotions paired with tastefully written metaphors and imagery.

"So, what's the price? We're like mosquitoes to light in a sense / I feed off of bioluminescence / Love and intent / So it's a quick fix, what else does life have to give but the pain generating inside our own brains?" Caesar muses on " Too Deep To Turn Back. "

On "Frontal Lobe Muzik" featuring Pharrell, Caesar sings about the loneliness of still being in love with someone and his yearning for feeling something genuine. The lo-fi, mellow groove of the song is sprinkled with synths and galactic sounds that evolve Caesar's sound.

Caesar's effortless falsetto and soulful harmonies have become a signature for the Toronto artist. Still, it's hard to place Caesar in just one genre because he defies the rigid lines and regulations of both soul, acoustic and R&B music. This fusion and alternative sound is what keeps him relevant. The music he creates reaches across genres, inviting listeners to enjoy and engage in his own universe.

Daniel Caesar Throws Humility Out Of The Window On ‘Case Study 01’

Aaron Williams

Daniel Caesar is bold now. The biggest indicator of his musical shift from “gee whiz” wunderkind to self-mythologizing manspreader is the cover of his latest self released project, Case Study 01 . In keeping with the Psychology 101 theme of his previous album, Freudian , Case Study borrows a practical term, but the differences are as stark as the photography gracing each album’s art.

Where Freudian is a long shot, framing Caesar as a figure in the distance climbing some inscrutable obelisk, Case Study is a close-up shot in silhouette, towering, larger-than-life. But the biggest change is the placement — and size — of the Parental Advisory label. On Freudian ’s cover it’s almost an afterthought, an “oh yeah, I may talk about some sex and cuss and stuff.” On Case Study , the message is clear: Daniel Caesar f*cks and all that humility stuff has gone out the window.

The new stance is even evidenced by the first few seconds of album opener “Entropy.” The first voice on Case Study is not Caesar’s, but J. Robert Oppenheimer’s words from an infamous interview referencing Hindu scripture about the decision to drop the first atomic bomb. As Oppenheimer reviews Hindu god Vishnu’s ability to take on a more-impressive, many-armed form, it’s hard not to notice Caesar doing the same thing from the outset; his versatility and eclecticism are well-documented, but now it’s time for him to flex.

This is a far cry from his prior projects, on which he presented an almost shy, tender demeanor. While Freudian had its brash moments, such as the suggestive come-ons of breakout hit “Get You,” for the most part, that previous effort was like high school reckoning of what “making love” must be like in the journal of a quiet, disconnected kid — an observer, not someone in the thick of things. It was first girlfriend stuff, the dreamy sense that moments could last forever, almost nostalgic in a way.

Then Caesar went through something of a rough year. After being nominated for numerous awards for Freudian , including multiple Grammy nominations (he won Best R&B Performance earlier this year for “Best Part” with similarly noir-ish singer H.E.R.), he found himself getting repeatedly kicked in the pants throughout the early half of 2019. Meeting idol Dave Chappelle on John Mayer’s Instagram Live “show,” he had to confront criticisms of his sound in real time before an audience. Initially standoffish, he seemed to sublimate a half-dozen counter arguments in favor of keeping the peace — a stance which he would later expand on during his own livestream with fans to disastrous effect.

By now, it’s entirely possible more casual music listeners have heard of Caesar as a result of the controversy surrounding his statements — which echoed similar statements made by rapper Kanye West and political commentator Candace Owens — calling Black people “sensitive” and parroting the age-old directive to “move on” as if it were some brilliant epiphany. After social media lit into him, he made his apologies — but the damage was done.

If Case Study was meant to function as a kind of supplementary mea culpa for his out-of-pocket observations, it’d be a bad one. It’s still peppered with the sort of plantation talk that Kanye doubled down on when he was getting dragged for the same reason, which isn’t a good look for Caesar (who even imitated Kanye’s heel turn right down to the hair dye job). Those prickly moments detract from an album that should have been hailed as a triumphant improvement over his previous work.

Where Freudian dreamily contemplated thorny subjects like the intersection of religion and sexuality, Case Study gets happily lost in the weeds in the best way. This time around, he tackles those subjects with swaggering aplomb, expanding his sonic palette along the way. The highlight is “Love Again,” featuring ‘90s chanteuse Brandy, a charmingly old-school duet that finds the pair challenging the gender stereotypes that cause friction throughout many relationships.

“Frontal Lobe Muzik,” featuring Pharrell, brings a sense of fun and frolic to the normally self-serious Daniel Caesar proceedings, while the dense “Superposition” makes use of John Mayer’s expressive guitar work to evoke the sort of song that would have fit comfortably on Mayer’s 2006 album Continuum . “Restore The Feeling” is a cocky summation of Caesar’s transformation, a surefire hip swiveler. Where the centerpieces on Freudian featured gooey, romantic navel-gazing, “Restore The Feeling” features a sizzling greased-griddle verse from Canadian rapper Sean Leon that re-casts “Daniel Caesar, soul man” as “Danny Caesar, the local superstar.” It’s easy to imagine that guy in the strip club on a Tuesday, no longer falling in love with the dancers as he did on 2019 loose single “Who Hurt U?”

Even with Caesar’s newfound physicality, Case Study is still a thoughtful, beautiful-sounding album. If nothing else, it proves he’s still a smart, intriguing songwriter who could wring twice as much romance out of a couplet as any of his contemporaries. But there’s also a sense that maybe he’s trying a little too hard here as well. The tough-guy talk on “Cyanide” is a bit much, and the vague suggestions of hard living on “Entropy” are unconvincing. Besides, we don’t come to Daniel Caesar for faux-patois and (snicker) Canadian roadman jive — that’s what Drake is for. We like Danny C because at the root of everything, there’s a sensitive kid who observes and listens, who reflects the quiet thoughts we all have but can’t always share. He just has to remember to think them all the way through before he opens his mouth, and prove he’s thinking with his head and not other body parts.

Daniel Caesar Returns With Surprise Album ‘Case Study 01’

By Elias Leight

Elias Leight

Daniel Caesar, the balladeer whose serene R&B tracks have been streamed hundreds of millions of times even though he is not signed to a major label, released a new album without warning on Thursday at midnight. Case Study 01  includes contributions from Pharrell Williams and John Mayer. It marks Caesar’s first full-length since 2017’s Freudian .

The album’s first single is “Love Again,” a duet with the golden-voiced R&B veteran Brandy. Leading with this track is a savvy move on Caesar’s part, since duets played a crucial role in his mainstream breakthrough. The singer’s first hit was “Get You,” a tranquil back-and-forth with Kali Uchis. He followed that with the breathy “Best Part,” which performed even better on the charts. Both those tracks were eventually certified platinum by the RIAA; they still get more than 500 combined spins a week at radio to this day. Freudian also contained two more male-female duets — with Syd and Charlotte Day Wilson, respectively.

Caesar has mostly been quiet since  Freudian , content to tour and watch his stream counts pile up. Last year he released “Who Hurt You,” a one-off that hinted at a new direction — this song was lusty and demanding, with a drum tone that evoked Prince. “Strange new addictions picked up on the road/Changed my opinions and changed up my flows,” he sang. That track is not on Case Study 01 . Instead, he sticks closely to the Freudian flows that brought Caesar success on the streaming services and in the radio format known as “Adult R&B.”

Daniel Caesar, Case Study 01 | Album Review 💿

Published by the musical hype on july 3, 2019 july 3, 2019.

4 out of 5 stars

Fresh off of his first Grammy win, Canadian R&B standout Daniel Caesar delivers a strong follow-up to his debut album (‘ Freudian ’) with ‘ Case Study 01 .’

R&B music has hit it fair share of “bumps in the road” over the years, cooling down tremendously over the years.  Regardless, the genre has still managed to have its fair share of bright spots, including Grammy-winning, Canadian standout, Daniel Caesar.   Caesar delivered one of the very best albums, regardless of genre, with his debut LP, Freudian in 2017. Freudian blended themes of love and spirituality superbly.  Since then, the artist has had some missteps , not musically mind you, but socially and culturally .  Focusing on solely on the music, his highly-anticipated follow-up, Case Study 01 , continues the excellence, while bringing in some talented collaborators: Brandy , Pharrell Williams , Sean Leon , Jacob Collier , and John Mayer .

It’s not every album that features a song that references physics, particular a R&B album. Standout ✓ “Entropy” earns that distinction, and Daniel Caesar actually says the word on the chorus of the song:

“Oh, how can this be? I finally found peace Just how long ‘til she’s stripped from me? So, come on, baby, in time we’ll all freeze Ain’t no stoppin’ that entropy .”

Sure, the concept of entropy itself can get technical, but in broad terms, it boils down to “chaos, disorganization, randomness”; a lack of order or predictability.  Within the soulful song, Caesar highlights the unpredictability of life and love. He even manages to fuse science and spirituality on the outro: “Drifting towards the deep freeze / Thermodynamics, there’s no escape / The good Lord he gives, the Lord he takes / No life without energy.”  

The love-centric ✓ “Cyanide” keeps Case Study 01 an intriguing listening experience.  The production remains soulful, benefiting from an old-school Tommy James and the Shondells sample ( “Candy Maker” ).  Also, keeping things fresh, are guest vocals by Toronto rapper Kardinal Offishall , which brings a cool Jamaican element into the picture. As if the first two songs weren’t great in their own right, Brandy joins Caesar for the terrific duet, ✓ “Love Again.” The relationship has ended, yet both seem to be willing to find reconciliation.  Both offer their perspective on where things fell short, offering up a seemingly simple solution: “If you can take my hand / I promise we’ll find love again.”

“Frontal Lobe Muzik”

If “Love Again” was kinder, gentler Daniel Caesar, than he toughens up his sound on “Frontal Lobe Muzik” featuring Pharrell Williams .  Williams sings on the love-centric chorus, while The Neptunes handle production duties.  No, Caesar doesn’t go extremely left of center, but as he did throughout Freudian , he is more profane, uses more slang, and embraces a more ‘street smart’ sensibility.  He still retains an approach idiomatic of R&B, even if it dips into hip-hop without crossing any lines.

✓ “Open Up” is the gospel-tinged slow-jam that R&B lovers definitely need in their lives. That said, there’s nothing ‘spiritual’ about “Open Up,” which finds Caesar being overtly sexual yet also emotionally invested – “The piano that I fuck you on / Same one that on which I write these songs for you.” The big thing he desires from her is to “…Open up to me, girl / Let me plant my seed, girl / Let me fill your needs, girl.”

“Restore the Feeling”  

“Restore the Feeling” brings Sean Leon and Jacob Collier into the mix.  Caesar sings the first verse himself, while Collier joins him on the memorable chorus, adding some smooth harmonies.  Leon sings and raps the second verse, providing a clear contrast to Caesar. The best moment of “Restore the Feeling” is arguably the outro, which expands upon Collier’s awesome contributions.  This is a good song, but arguably, it could use just a slight bit more finesse to make it truly great.

Physics once more enters the mix on ✓ “Superposition” featuring John Mayer .  True to the title, Caesar bases the record itself on the idea/theory of superposition .  It begins from the start, where he sings on the first verse, “Isn’t it an irony? / The things that inspire me / they make me bleed / so profusely.” On the chorus, much like “Entropy,” he directly references superposition:

“Exist in superposition Life’s all about contradiction Yin and yang Fluidity and things I’m me, I’m God I’m everything I’m my own reason why I sing And so are you, are you understanding?”

The second verse is quite deep, highlighted by the lyric, “If I should die before I wake / Oh, please do not resuscitate / I know I didn’t live my life in vain / This music shit’s a piece of cake / The rest of my life’s in a state of chaos…”

“Too Deep to Turn Back”

“So, what’s the price / We’re like mosquitos to light, in a sense / I feed off bioluminescence…” Case Study 01 continues to be complex, yet rewarding project, further evidenced by the lovely “Too Deep to Turn Back.”  If it hasn’t been highlighted, Daniel Caesar sounds fantastic, never needing to ‘break a sweat’ to pack a punch.  Here, religion plays a significant role, specifically on the chorus, which features vocals by Arianna Reid , as well as the fourth verse (“I’ve slept like Jacob, a rock for a pillow / Run swift like Elijah, away from the middle”).     

Two more songs grace Case Study 001 . “Complexities” possesses a lovely backdrop by all means, even if the song itself isn’t as cutting edge or as intriguing as the best of the album.  “Are You Ok?” closes equally lovely, featuring more introspection from Caesar that has characterized the album as a whole.  An instrumental break signals a change of pace, one that finds Caesar addressing ‘Emily’ a couple of times (“Sweet Emily, my bride to be / Struggle with me, if I’d entropy …”) At six-and-a-half minutes it is a bit demanding, but also rewarding in many respects.

Final Thoughts

So, earlier, we said that Freudian was one of the best albums released regardless of genre in 2017.  The same can be said of Case Study 01 , which gives R&B lovers another reason to have faith in the genre.  Furthermore, this particular project gives all music lovers a truly creative and well-rounded album, one with many memorable moments. One thing is for sure – Daniel Caesar is a truly special, truly talented musician. You can argue that the end of the album isn’t quite as punchy as the beginning, but all in all, Case Study 01 has its fair share of excellence.

✓ Gems : “Entropy,” “Cyanide,” “Love Again,” “Open Up” & “Superposition”

CASE STUDY 01

After Daniel Caesar released his soul-baring debut album, Freudian, tracing his decision to leave home and the church at 17, he became one of R&B’s most promising poets, able to distil spiritual complexities into deceptively simple love songs. Then, he got lost in his own head. “I got pretty depressed,” he tells Apple Music, citing artistic pressure, social media and the isolation of fame as factors. “For a while, I didn’t want to leave my house.” The thing that ultimately freed him from his creative rut was finding comfort in his own mortality. “Everything dies, everything changes—I had to embrace that,” he says. “To not be so scared of failure.” CASE STUDY 01, his existential follow-up, is denser, headier and riskier, confronting ideas like good and evil, life and death, loneliness and God. “I’m drawn to touchy subjects,” he says. “They’re my favourite.” He found he kept circling back to themes of death and spirituality. “I’d been reading a lot about Judaism and Kabbalah and meditation. And I was raised religious, so it’s like my operating system,” he says. “But I also needed to free myself from that—to live.” Once he’d regained some creative confidence, he drafted a fantasy line-up of artists to work with on the new music—Pharrell, Brandy, John Mayer. “These are my heroes,” he says. “People who I never thought I’d ever collaborate with, until the opportunity came up and it was like, ‘Is this really real?’” Even more surprising, perhaps, was the degree to which the studio sessions felt like true artistic exchanges. “There were obviously things I admired about these artists,” he says, “but I realised there were also things they admired about me.” Pharrell was drawn to Caesar’s palette of influences—a mix of gospel, R&B, rock and soul—while Caesar hoped he’d absorb some of Pharrell’s signature playfulness. “I take myself very seriously,” he says, “and there’s something so childlike and fun about his music.” Similarly, Mayer, his all-time favourite artist, was interested in seeing how Caesar pieced lyrics together: “He liked what I say and how I say it.” “SUPERPOSITION” perfectly marries their mutual love of romantic, tuneful melodies and densely layered production. “I wanted a song that could’ve fit on [Mayer's 2006 album] Continuum,” Caesar says. “But, you know, right on the edge.”
