Up until now, Toronto's Daniel Caesar has remained a relatively hidden talent with a few unquestionably brilliant songs. His debut EP captured them all, really showcasing his immaculate vocals, and now, ready to step into the spotlight more is the singer-songwriter's second EP, Praise Break, that shows improvement in all aspects of his music. We were hyped when we first heard the initial, aforementioned body of work, and now with this tantalizing, seven-track EP, there's no question Daniel is one of the most promising new acts in R&B, period. The first thing you'll notice about Daniel is his voice, and there's absolutely no question about that. Unlike other artists who rely on imagery to up the ante when it comes to their brand, Daniel is letting his music do all the lifting, and after one listen through the EP, you'll be stuck not within some doctored-up style, but in the music itself—where we all should be. Below, you can find our selected highlights from the EP, but if you wish to hear the project as a whole, head on over to his SoundCloud account. You can also download each track we have featured here.
