Daniel Caesar‘s fourth album Son Of Spergy arrives tomorrow, October 24, 2025, via Republic Records, and it’s already feeling like a soulful reset after his introspective run with Never Enough.
As track nine in the 12-song set, Sign Of The Times stands out for its quiet urgency—a gentle nudge toward reading the room in love and life, wrapped in that signature falsetto glide over hazy keys and subtle strings. Caesar’s been teasing vulnerability here, turning personal reckonings into something universal, and this cut seems to capture the album’s heartbeat: moments where you spot the shift before it hits.
He previewed the full project last night at an intimate Harlem show, and clips from the set are lighting up feeds—fans calling his live take on Sign Of The Times “heavenly” and the whole thing his best yet. With features from Sampha on Rain Down and Bon Iver on Moon pulling in that ethereal edge, the album builds on Caesar’s Toronto-rooted R&B, blending gospel warmth with modern ache. Think lines that might echo his past confessions, like spotting “signs” in faded connections or quiet breakthroughs, all while the production (handled by him alongside Jordan Evans and others) keeps it grounded yet soaring.
Early pre-saves are stacking up on Spotify, and listening parties are popping worldwide, from São Paulo tributes to Nairobi vibes. If Case Study 01 set the bar for emotional depth, Son Of Spergy raises it, making tracks like this one a reminder that timing in music—and everything else—says it all.

Lyrics of Sign Of The Times by Daniel Caesar
Mister, Mister
I Heard God Speaks To Man Through Signs
Well I Think I Just Seen Mine
’cause When I Kissed Her
I Pictured Her Bringing Forth Life
Like Madonna And Her Child
No Need To Be Alarmed
It’s Just Love
And The Future
But So What?
Mister, Mister
Do You Think I Should Let Her Know
Or Wait It Out, Let Colours Show?
’cause When I’m With Her (When I’m With Her)
Impulsivity Pulls At Me
I’m Stronger Now Than I Used To Be
It Might Be Too Late
I’ve Gone
And Spilled My Guts
But It Feels So Great
It’s Risky
So What?
I Think It’s Finally ’bout That Time, A Nigga Nearly Thirty
Find Some Soil To Plant A Seed, Lord, Send Me Someone Worthy
I Was Chasing ’round My Fucking Lady Like A Sycophant
But You Brought Me Up And Out Of Egypt With Your Single Hand
My Homie Crashed The Tesla And That Shit Went Up In Flames
The Lord, He Got Him Out In Time, I Wanna Tell Him “Thanks”
Sometimes I Feel It Should’ve Been Me Inside Of The Passenger Side
Then It Would’ve Been Me ‘stead Of—
Is It My Fault? God Decides Who Stays, Who Goes
Can I Ask The Question? ’cause I Really Wanna Know
I Was At Home In My Bed, My Spirit Felt A Disturbance
Signs Are All Around Me, I’m Just Trying To Interpret
I Know, I Know, I Know, Yes, I Know
I Know A Sign When I See One, Sign When I See One
