There are some artists who just have that magical ability to sweep you up and set your soul flying. Daniel Caesar has that special something, no doubt about that. The Canadian singer-songwriter has a sun-kissed, soulful voice that makes his songs feel like a warm embrace. Caesar showed off that and more in his 10 million view viral session for Fender on his romantic ballad “Get You.” The session left viewers raving about his voice and reaching for the repeat button again and again.
Caesar is one of those full package guys. He’s got that incredible voice, but also has a skillful touch on acoustic, as well as the memorable songs to boot. There’s something sublime about how he paces the performance on guitar and fills out the sparse chords of his acoustic playing with his soaring vocal melodies. It’s a real masterclass, and The Music Man is here for it big time.
Fans left nearly 3000 comments on Caesar’s solo sesh on “Get You,” adding praise such as “His voice reminds me of the coolness on those mornings when summer is coming to an end and fall is arriving. I love it” and “This is the most beautiful performance I’ve ever seen. I’m not an overly emotional person, but this has tears running down my face. You can see and feel his soul. This kind of talent channels through from a higher dimension.”
