Daniel Caesar Holds a Mirror to Himself on Tender and Thoughtful New LP ‘Never Enough’
From its title alone, Daniel Caesar’s Never Enough serves as a primer in the multi-sided psyche of his musical persona. On his highly-anticipated third studio album, out today, April 7, the R&B artist eschews some of his previous lyrical themes — sex, drugs and heartbreak — in favor of a surprising self-analysis of his insecurities and shortcomings.The project isn’t entirely confined to such, as he also drops the occasional desire-laden innuendo. Caesar’s past music has centered on his relationship with the women around him, a concept threaded throughout 2017’s Freudian, which consisted of gospel songs reworked to take on contemporary heartbreak, and 2019’s Case Study 01, a melodic collection of a sapiosexual’s hedonistic musings. Never Enough may be romantic (or even lustful) at times...

But through the pain comes optimism, BERWYN’s only source of hope. His pain-ridden lyrics – previously often written in the back of the car he used to sleep in – resonate with those who also experience what life is like to be Black in Britain.Fast-forwarding to 2021, BERWYN’s career jumped to a new level. Receiving his first taste of success when his debut mixtape DEMOTAPE/VEGA was shortlisted for a Mercury Prize award, the musician also went on to re...
