Album Review
5 Stars
Daniel Caesar, an artist well known for his R&B love songs, released his fourth studio album Son of Spergy in October of 2025. Since its announcement in August, the album has been highly anticipated by fans, and it didn’t disappoint. Son of Spergy offered a layered collection of songs that expanded his range and veered away from his traditional sound.
The album consists of 12 tracks, running just over 51 minutes, featuring artists like Bon Iver, Blood Orange, and Sampha. The variation between songs gives the album a sense of dimension, making it unique compared to his previous works. Songs like Have a baby (With me) and Moon showcase Ceasar’s gentler side with their mellow, slow element, while songs like Root of all evil and Call on me contrasted this with their upbeat, catchy energy, bringing vibrancy and life to the album.
Daniel Caesar has always explored faith within his songs, and Son of Spergy was no different. The album highlighted his personal beliefs with lyrics like “Lord let your blessings rain down” and “I think God speaks to man through signs” These gospel/worship style lyrics mixed with his classic vocals and acoustics made for a distinguished soundtrack.
While Caesar’s signature style remains, the vibes from this album are fresh and new, which many fans resonated with and hope to see more of.
