Daniel.Xavier’s dreamy soundscape, BeGood is decadent in its rich organic textures; after an intro which allows ambient dreamy melodies to blossom to the sound of birdsong, Daniel.Xavier’s ethereal harmonies intertwine with the endlessly ascending aesthetics.
As warm as a fever dream, as tender as a whispered confession, BeGood is far from your average RnB release. As a conduit of seraphic soul, Daniel.Xavier knows exactly how to set the tone and entrench his sound in resolving reverie. By bringing his listeners to a state of bliss, Daniel.Xavier became a purveyor of accessible nirvana, providing a gateway to meditative transcendence.
A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Daniel.Xavier found his sonic calling by merging influences spanning R&B, trap, indie, and neo-soul, crafting an eclectic yet soulful repertoire defined by meaningful lyrical depth. Since launching his first project in 2018, he has never lost momentum. Inspired by visionaries including Moses Sumney, Pharrell, and Andre 3000, his approach remains both daring and refined, constantly evolving with each step into the studio.
BeGood marks a watershed moment, illuminating the strides he has taken to develop his own sound and aesthetic. Fans of neo-soul hungry for a steady dose of sonic warmth and mesmerising grace would be wise to keep their gaze on Daniel.Xavier’s horizon, where his tranquillity promises to shine ever brighter.
BeGood is available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
