Update: Today (August 22), Daniel Caesar shared the cover art for Son of Spergy, which arrives October 24 via Republic Records.

Daniel Caesar is teasing new work.


Today, the Toronto R&B singer and songwriter shared a video on Instagram, with a caption that reads: “Son of Spergy. 2025 **.” The two-and-a-half-minute clip shared features a moving body of text overlayed on an open field. Its final sentence reads: “I am Spergy’s son, and in my spirit, I am God’s.”

Aside from the lone post, his Instagram has been completely wiped, with a new profile picture and bio that reads: “God is the greatest,” and directs fans to a website — sonofspergy.com. Additionally, he shared an image of the Kabbalistic tree of life (a central symbol in Kabbalah, a Jewish mystical tradition) to his Instagram story, with a link to the site. Caesar’s other social media channels remain untouched.

On the website is another video, featuring a clip of Caesar walking into a body of water with music playing in the background. The video is spliced with title cards that read: “WALK BY FAITH,” “NOT BY SIGHT,” and “HAVE A BABY (WITH ME),” — the latter of which listeners can hear a snippet of what sounds like a new song as the video abruptly ends.

If Sons of Spergy is a new album, it would come two years after Caesar’s 2023 record, Never Enough, which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

Recently, Caesar was credited as a songwriter on Justin Bieber’s Swag track, “Devotion,” and performed an intimate Billboard Canada Live show at The Mod Club during NXNE, where he performed a new song called "Moon" as well as acoustic renditions of songs from throughout his catalogue.

For fans who sign up to Caesar’s newsletter, a confirmation message reads: “You’re on the mailing list. Well done. Stay ready, any minute now.”

SZA Feels Like She’s ‘At War Because of AI,’ Slams ‘Weird, Stereotypical Struggle Music’ Being Generated By Artificial Intelligence

The singer tackled the topic on "Ghost in the Machine" from her 2022 chart-topping "SOS" album.

SZA has been raging against what she dubbed the “Ghost in the Machine” on her Billboard 200 No. 1 album SOS for years. In her case the “ghost” she was referring to on that song from her 2022 breakthrough LP was artificial intelligence, which she took on by singing, “Let’s talk about AI, robot got more heart than I/ Robot got future, I don’t/ Robot got sleep but I don’t power down.”

Now, in an interview with i.d., the Grammy-winning singer is sharpening her knives to a high sheen in what she tagged as a potentially existential crisis for Black artists in the face of the rapidly expanding use of artificial intelligence in music.
