Daniel Caesar is a great up-and-coming R&B singer who happens to be from Toronto.
And by "up-and-coming", I mean multiple Grammy-nominated and Grammy-and-Juno-winning, #1-hit-singing singer/songwriter.
He's a big deal, who has had some big collaborations with other hitmakers like Justin Bieber, Kali Uchis, and H.E.R.
This song - a non-album single that was the b-side to his mega hit "Get You" - ended up being his first charting hit, reaching high on the Adult R&B charts in the US and running up some pretty impressive streaming numbers.
So, when he first appeared on the NPR Tiny Desk in 2018, it makes sense that he'd lead off with this song.
His band - Canadian musicians (he's known to work with a lot of Toronto locals) - also received a lot of acclaim. You've met that bassist recently as a fingerpicking guitarist with her own Tiny Desk Concert.
But we're here to talk about Daniel Caesar. And his voice and style are a true throwback to 90's slow jams.
Also, stick around, because H.E.R. shows up.
