While his debut album, Freudian, found sweeping success upon its arrival, Daniel Caesar's second studio release, CASE STUDY 01, didn't receive nearly as much support. As you may recall, this is chiefly due to the Canadian's polarizing comments about race relations back in 2019, at which time he suggested that white people didn't deserve the hate sometimes put onto them by the Black community. His career took a seriously strong hit as a result, though he's coming back stronger than ever this New Music Friday (April 7) with his long-awaited NEVER ENOUGH project.

The 15-track release was led by singles such as "Do You Like Me?" "Let Me Go," and more recently, "Valentina," all of which find Caesar operating solo. However, the rest of the album boasts some impressive collaborators, such as Mustafa on "Toronto 2014," serpentwithfeet on "Disillusioned," and Ty Dolla $ign on "Homiesexual." Additionally, the R&B crooner tapped Omar Apollo for "Buyer's Remorse" following their previous work together on "Invincible."

Daniel Caesar and Omar Apollo Reunite on "Buyer's Remorse"

Reflecting on the making of NEVER ENOUGH with GRAMMY.com, Caeser shared, "I go into an album thinking I know what I’m gonna sing about or write about, and then ¾ of the way through the album, it always changes. Every time I pick a title starting an album, I know it’s gonna change, but I pick it so that I have a bearing. I can’t stick to a program, so I know it’s gonna tell me what it is. With songs, too, I learn about myself by writing."
