Daley is part of the burgeoning soul and R&B movement out of the UK. He came on the heels of Adele and Amy Winehouse, whose "Love Is A Losing Game" he covered and released on the date of her untimely passing, but he's very much his own man. Daley's music at times harkens back to the '90s, and at others takes listeners back to the Sade vibe of the '80s. Sometimes he can even go further back to the '60s, but his music never seems to rely very much on the idea of being grounded in modern day production and style.

"I think the term that I've come up with that I really feel like works is future throwback soul, if I was going to have to put it in a little phrase, because it is literally what it says," Daley said in an interview with Radio.com.
