Seven months later, his third album and first bilingual album Sincerely Yours, Daniel was released on 28 December 2011, and it was his first album in four years since Unavoidable, the album features six original songs in Mandarin and English, and two English cover songs.

As a tribute to his non-Chinese fans, a CD comprising five Bahasa Malaysia songs, of which two are from the previous two albums, was released on 17 June 2008 under the name Pasti. In August 2008, as to popular Chinese belief that a change of name can bring better luck and prospects, Daniel changed the middle character from 吉(Jí/Chee) to 桀(Jié/Chieh) and also his English name to Danell. Under the new name, a video compilation album, titled Sharing 分享, comprising MVs of 13 past songs and 2 new songs (4 Bahasa Malaysia, 10 Mandarin, 1 Canto-Mandarin) was released on 27 September 2008, less than half a year after Pasti was released.

Danell also performed at the Sungei Wang 2007 Countdown, entertaining the Malaysian public with other local and international artistes from Hong Kong and Taiwan, attended by a crowd of more than 100,000. The concert was taunted as the biggest countdown concert in Malaysia for 2007.

Danell made a guest appearance in 8TV's own idol television drama, Sky 星空 (2007), as a character with his own name. The drama starred Gary Yap (叶俊岑), maiden edition of Project Superstar's overall/male category champion, Johnson Wee Chun Yen (黄俊源) aka John and female category runner-up, Mei Sim (云美鑫), and one of the judges of Project Superstar itself, Guan Qi Yuan (管启源).
