Description
"His rich, trembling soulful voice, melodic flow, and horse percussive stabs call to mind the Fifties idol Dion crossed with Otis Redding.” - The Daily Telegraph
You may already be familiar with the powerhouse pipes of Daniel Merriweather, the 27-year-old Australian who lends his old-soul voice to Stop Me — an ingenious mash-up of The Smiths’ Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before and The Supremes’ You Keep Me Hangin’ On that appears on DJ/producer Mark Ronson’s eclectic album Version. The track soared to the top of the airplay charts in the UK in April 2007 and led the British press to tout Merriweather as an artist to watch.
Now, Merriweather is making good on that promise and establishing himself as a singer, songwriter, and performer in his own right by stepping out with his own debut album, Love & War, which has already been tipped by Rolling Stone in the magazine’s Spring Music Preview as one of 2009's hottest albums.
Already an enormous hit in the UK, where it debuted at #2 on the British album chart this week, Love & War has been called “one of the debuts of the, well, century” with “the potential to be a genre-crossing monster” by the UK’s Daily Mirror.

The road to the release of his debut album 'Love & War' however, stretches back even further, across continents, decades, relationships, moods and struggles. A few of you may know Daniel as the emotive voice on his producer Mark Ronson’s chart-busting cover of The Smiths ‘Stop Me’. He is however, anything but a set of rent-a-pipes and 'Love & War' will rapidly tear up any pre-conceived ideas of what and who he is, as will five minutes in his company.
