Though produced entirely by Danny!, ''The Book of Daniel'' is said to employ the use of many outside vocalists and orchestras in an effort to augment the sampling throughout and give the album a "[[film score]] sound." All but one song on ''The Book of Daniel'' — an interlude — feature [[chamber music]]ians playing instruments such as the [[glockenspiel]], [[harp]], [[cello]] and [[violin]] ([[Miri Ben-Ari]], for example, contributes to the final two minutes of "Love U 2 Much", culminating in a violin solo composed and performed by Ben-Ari at the end of the song), along with non-baroque instruments such as the [[ukulele]], [[Mbira|kalimba]], [[Electro-Theremin]] and [[music box]]. {{cn|date=August 2018}} |

Danny! would later joke that the production of the album, paid for with his own money and mostly consisting of sample clearance fees and the aforementioned session musicians, cost "the equivalent of three or four administrative assistant salaries" and that he'd spent years "climb[ing] out of financial and emotional debt...just to get right back in it [for the sake of ''The Book of Daniel'']!".<ref name="Fader" /> It was also not uncommon for Danny! to regard ''The Book of Daniel'' as "a million-dollar album for 1/10th of the price",<ref name="GQ" /> referring to its production costs, during the album's development. |

The Book of Daniel or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Be the Bomb, more commonly known as The Book of Daniel, is the upcoming fourth studio album from Atlanta recording artist and producer Danny!.[1]
According to Swain, The Book of Daniel is a concept album chronicling the origins, delayed awareness and eventual self-acceptance of the album protagonist's mental illness. The album has been announced to have a maximalist aesthetic as well as a sharp departure from Danny!'s previous hip hop-centric output. [citation needed]
The record was initially slated for a Leap Day 2016 release[2] but has been delayed for two years. The Book of Daniel will be Danny!'s first album since 2012's Okayplayer Records LP Payback.
Background
During a years-long hiatus from recording music Danny! starred in a digital short for Sesame Street,[3] composed music for an Emmy Award-winning episode of FOX's Bob's Burgers, for which he was also honored,[3] and performed voiceover work for ESPN.[3] Danny! used the money earned from these contributions to continue funding what would become The Book of Daniel. In its original incarnation, originally titled Deliverance, The Book of Daniel largely relied on obscure production library music samples, not unlike Danny!'s first two studio albums And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and Where Is Danny?.
The subtitle of The Book of Daniel is a reference to the Stanley Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove.[4]
Music and lyrics
Though produced entirely by Danny!, The Book of Daniel is said to employ the use of many outside vocalists and orchestras in an effort to augment the sampling throughout and give the album a "film score sound." All but one song on The Book of Daniel — an interlude — feature chamber musicians playing instruments such as the glockenspiel, harp, cello and violin (Miri Ben-Ari, for example, contributes to the final two minutes of "Love U 2 Much", culminating in a violin solo composed and performed by Ben-Ari at the end of the song), along with non-baroque instruments such as the ukulele, kalimba, Electro-Theremin and music box. [citation needed]
In a recent interview Danny! acknowledged the fusion of musical genres such as folk, baroque pop, R&B, gospel and psychedelic rock, along with the record's main themes of melancholia and mental health, into the overall sound of the album as "Blue meets Supa Dupa Fly meets Stoneground Words meets Pet Sounds, with a pinch of Paul's Boutique'’". [citation needed]
The Book of Daniel is named after the biblical book of the same name, and features twelve songs, similar to how the book contains twelve chapters.
Like the biblical Book of Daniel, the album will explore themes of overcoming excessive hardship. [citation needed] The Book of Daniel is said to detail the present-day difficulty of the album protagonist's adult life as a result of severe childhood emotional neglect, and the complications experienced during — and leading up to — efforts to repair the damage done to both his interpersonal relationships and his mental health.[4] The Book of Daniel's content will discuss mental and substance abuse, existential angst, fatherhood and the generational trauma of African-Americans. [citation needed] It is not known whether, or how much of, the album's narrative is autobiographical. [original research?]
Danny! has credited The Beatles' 1967 song "Strawberry Fields Forever" as the album's initial source of that theme (similar to his debut album And I Love H.E.R., another album lauded for its diverse range of musical genres,[5] heavily borrowing visual themes from The Beatles' 1964 film A Hard Day's Night).
Artwork
The "weeping man" on the cover of The Book of Daniel comes from The Drifters' 1968 compilation album Golden Hits; specifically, the single "I Count The Tears". The man holds up two fingers counting the number of tears streaming down his face. The hot air balloon shown on the alternate cover art is said to reference a suicidal lyric from the album track "Goodbye (Cruel World).” [citation needed]
Promotion
In anticipation for the new album, Danny! leaked a snippet of "Sweet Virginia" on his now-defunct Tumblr blog in early November 2015,[6] followed by daily instrumental cues shared on his Instagram page that were later deleted (though a small portion still remain). The FADER premiered its then lead single "Constellations"[7] two weeks prior to The Book of Daniel's original February 29, 2016 release date.
As of 2018, Danny! continues to preview new music from The Book of Daniel, primarily through Instagram, but refuses to address the album's constant delays. However, he is still accepting money for what he claims to be preorders for the album.
