+# get you — daniel caesar ft. kali uchis
+
+[spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/2uP6t2J5MEwhr9rDkAAzwh)
+
+> "a slow roll masterpiece"
+
+this is the song that made daniel caesar. released october 20, 2016 as the lead single from *freudian* (2017), "get you" has accumulated over 1.5 billion streams — a sleeper hit that was simultaneously certified gold and platinum by the riaa in february 2021, years after release. it was nominated for best r&b performance at the 60th grammy awards. none of those numbers capture what the song actually does.
+
+the production is a collaboration between jordan evans and matthew burnett, working with badbadnotgood — the toronto jazz collective whose fingerprints give the track its particular warmth. there's a live-room quality to the instrumentation: soft electric guitar phrases that curl around the vocal lines, a bassline that moves with glacial patience, drums that barely assert themselves. everything is in service of the voices.
+
+and the voices are extraordinary. caesar's tone is pure neo-soul — full and fragile at the same time, a falsetto that sounds like it might break but never does. kali uchis enters and the song shifts register entirely. her voice is smokier, more grounded, with a slight rasp that creates tension against caesar's smoothness. they don't compete. they orbit each other.
+
+"slow roll" is exactly right as a description. the song doesn't build to a climax — it unrolls, gradually, like a scroll being opened. each section reveals a little more, adds a new layer of harmony or a subtle instrumental texture, but nothing ever disrupts the fundamental calm. it's a love song that trusts its own pace completely. there's no rush because there's nowhere better to be than inside this moment.
+
+the chord progressions borrow from gospel and jazz without being showy about it. the harmonies are sophisticated but they don't announce themselves — they just make the air feel richer. by the time the song ends, you realize it's been holding you in place for over four minutes without you noticing.
