class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Daley, the title captures how life rarely goes according to plan. \u201cIt\u2019s really summarizing how things don\u2019t always unfold the way that you think they will,\u201d he explains. That includes the nature of falling in love, the nature of life, and the nature of death. Sometimes that unpredictability turns out strange and beautiful. Sometimes it\u2019s strange and ugly. Daley says the journey behind this album ultimately landed on the beautiful side.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Daley make music after losing his father?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music has always meant more to Daley than performance. \u201cThere is something divine about the ability to translate emotion through melody,\u201d he says. Though he wasn\u2019t raised in an especially religious household, he describes singing as a spiritual act, a way of connecting to something larger than himself while sharing that connection with listeners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sense of purpose carried Daley through the loss of his father during the making of <em>Strange Nature<\/em>. Interestingly, the album isn\u2019t a grief record. \u201cThe whole album is about that, because it\u2019s like what my dad would want me to be doing,\u201d Daley says. In one of his father\u2019s final lucid moments, a family member asked how the album was coming along. Daley told him it was nearly finished. His father laughed. That memory now sits at the emotional core of the project, even without a single explicit reference to loss.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Daley\u2019s new singles \u201cLavender\u201d and \u201cSlide\u201d about?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLavender\u201d was among the first songs written for the album, created with UK producer Swindle and guitarist Tom Ford. Daley describes it as a metaphor for the softness, bliss, and sensuality shared between two people who tune out the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSlide,\u201d by contrast, was the last song completed for the project, born from a need to lighten the mood during a stressful mixing session. Daley wanted to reconnect with the joy of making music, and the result feels like a family reunion in a backyard, full of warmth and good energy. He\u2019s already fielding requests from fans hoping for an official dance to go with it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What themes does \u201cStrange Nature\u201d explore?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daley calls it a love album, a life album, a breakup album, and a celebration album, all at once. Tracklist moments range from a song suited for walking down the aisle to a stripped-down, cutthroat piano ballad about heartbreak, built from a real breakup Daley wrote about as he was living through it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s featured on \u201cStrange Nature?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirmed features include Robert Glasper and longtime collaborator Marsha Ambrosius, who previously joined Daley on his breakout song \u201cAlone Together.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most tantalizing tease, though, involves Stevie Wonder. After performing a duet of \u201cYou and I\u201d at Wonder\u2019s show at Crypto.com Arena, the two began writing an original song together at the piano. Daley isn\u2019t sure it\u2019ll be ready in time for the September release, but he hasn\u2019t ruled out a future deluxe edition.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does \u201cStrange Nature\u201d come out, and where can fans see Daley live?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Strange Nature<\/em> releases September 18 on all streaming platforms and vinyl. Daley\u2019s supporting tour includes two Atlanta shows at City Winery on October 6 and 7.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div
