Twenty-one-year-old Canadian singer and songwriter, Ashton Simmonds, known formally by his stage name, Daniel Caesar, has captured the pure essence of raw emotion through his latest album, “Freudian.”

His captivating voice, paired with gospel melodies, broadcast his versatility. It’s hard not to be blown away by his ability to fill the fractures of a room with pure sentiment.

Caesar has been known to transmute older songs into works of his own. “Freudian” contains several versions of gospel songs made in the past and on his previous album, “Pilgrims Paradise,” he delivers his rendition of “Street Lights” by Kanye West.
