two 2025 albums; daniels say

hello everybody. it has been a while since i posted on the official website because i have been so intensely busy building and crafting the conclusions of several journeys in the studio. following on from the release of seven love songs in 2024, i was immensely proud of such a well received album and tour. the record is my most marketable album and one that i am pleased with. i know that the tracks on seven love songs have longevity and realise not only events in my life but also the endearing nuances of 1980’s pop culture both in the music videos and the tracks themselves.

after this album release i found myself in a strange place needing to contest with raw emotions and i began revisiting unfinished works of mine and realising new visions and ideas. i started to get back into the recording studio to put my feelings into sound.

what followed is the concept albums and songs that you will hear over the coming few years.

first up is ‘daniel’. this album is 7 tracks long and is driven by a post-punk intense and longing essence. the record chronicles the hardships of being autistic in an non-autistic world and experiencing the vulnerabilities of having an autistic mind, and experiencing non-autistic socio-sexual expectations through an autistic prism. it is an album centered around my early adolescence. i also decided to completely remake one of my most popular songs from ‘seven love songs’ called ‘more than you love me’ in the stylings of this new record and i hope you like this little twist. the record is now complete and ready for release in april 2025. i first visited this sound originally in 2019 and was interrupted by the global pandemic and a mental health battle that i very much won so iu am pleased to offer a wider and fuller realisation of the complete story that is ‘daniel’.

the second album i will release in 2025 will be titled ‘music for an honest winter funeral’. this record is 12 tracks long and will release in november 2025 in time for the christmas period. this album chronicles my experience of grief and losing people who have died whom i love and cherish dearly. the album is a mixture of music and lyrics on a backdrop of symphonic synths and chronicles a journey of grief from the moment of uncontrollable emotions, to anger, to pity, to healing and letting go. it is the definitive ‘daniel angelus winter album’, on a backdrop that i can only describe as very much the inner workings of my mind and personality. i would describe myself as someone who is content with the darker and more vivid experiences of life on earth due to my exposure to many haunting and traumatic experiences since early adolescence. this drives me to be my honest self in a world that is diverse, unique and nuanced in every beautiful detail. i see these details regularly and often drift out into the voids of my mind to explore new sensations, and see the beauty in everything. i imagine songs from this album fitting into the very emotional places that people may find themselves, embracing them with comfort and sincerity. to this end, one of the tracks from this album was played at the burial of a dear friend and colleague in the united states. i wrote the piece for this wonderful person and creator, and now i share it with the wider world on this album so they can be inspired by his greatness through their difficult times.

these two albums are complex and raw emotional records. i hope you find time to explore them and adopt them into your lives as you see fit, if you so desire.

i am grateful for the support over the years since 2007. everything comes to an end eventually. but for now, i have stories to tell and i will continue writing and recording so long as i feel inspired, able and willing.

SCOTT LAMBSON - REST IN PEACE

Yesterday, we said goodbye to Scott Lambson, whom I have worked with creatively since 2018. I am deeply saddened to lose Scott from this realm, and I loved every moment of working with him on some of my music videos, and more recently, writing the soundtracks to several of his movies including Mr. Earth - I have spent the past week in deep reflection on what Scott meant to me and my team as a colleague and friend. I wrote a final piece of music for Scott's funeral, that was played at his burial, my deepest and most personal form of gift to this entirely creative and passionate human. I am going to miss you, Scott. Soon I will be releasing a never before seen music video that was filmed and directed by Scott before his passing, and I will also be launching my favourite project of ours, Mr. Earth, on my YouTube channel so the entire world can enjoy this entire movie in all of its wonder and warmth. Rest In Power, Scott.

DANIEL ANGELUS // DERBY COUNTY WOMENS FOOTBALL CLUB

hello everyone, a personal update here that I wanted to share. I have followed and supported Derby County my whole life and go to as many games as my schedule permits. as a season ticket holder I have always wanted to support the club beyond cheering on from the stands. 5 year ago I began watching the womens team play and really enjoyed their FA Plate final win over Cambridge United last season in Manchester. that incredible win inspired me to use my platform as a music artist and go a little further by helping to support the funding of the club I love. my new album ‘Seven Love Songs’ is the official sponsor of club captain and all around superb player Emily Joyce. I feel honoured to be in such a postion to go that step further and support the Derby County Womens team in a way that makes a great difference for the club and the players.

I will be attending as many games as my schedule allows this year and I want to thank the team behind the scenes at Derby County for being tremendous and helping make this happen.

Up the Ewes! Up the Rams!

end of year update from daniel

hey everybody. its been a very powerful year for me. from winning a total of 7 awards for the music i have made for film, to soundtracking a movie debuting on amazon prime video, to performing my first full UK solo tour after years of grinding away at making this music heard and felt. i will never forget the moment i stepped on stage at manchester academy and delivered probably the best show of my life to a really great crowd. my official youtube channel, which started showcasing my music in 2015, surpassed half a million streams/video views in 2022. i have been working really hard behind all of that on my first bachelors degree and will go on to do my masters degree in 2023. i feel like in 2022 i finally started to truly believe in myself and have been very gently allowing that to bring me tremendous experiences i will never forget, and hopefully neither will the audiences who let it in. i must reamin grounded however and keep my morals and ethics intact. i do this work because i love it and i share it with you all in a very vulnerable way. it has been noticed and praised, but it must always be a humbling experience. if it is not, i will stop until it feels humbling again. i feel like 2022 has probably been the hardest working year in my entire life but i have enjoyed all of it so much, i intend to continue this workload and effort into 2023 and 2024. i have a lot to share coming up in the next few years. i have several collaborations with some very skilled artists that will be released in the next 12 months and alongside that i have filmed 2 music videos for 2 of my upcoming solo singles that will be released in 2023. i also have an array of exciting secret projects that are currently in active development in europe that will allow me to try something i have always dreamt of doing, but have not been able to pull together until now. it is early days on those projects and i am taking my time to make sure their entry to the world is done properly. i am so eternally grateful for the universe that surrounds me and allows me to breathe my creativity into it. i want to thank every producer, promoter, venue, staff member, and my tour manager. i want to thank every person who travelled to see my shows in 2022, every person who streamed any song of mine and every single person who invested any time or effort into my art. thank you so much. i love you, and appreciate you. please, be safe and comfortable. daniel xox
