[rating:83/100]
Rising star Daniel Merriweather has already toured with Kanye West and Justin Timberlake, worked with Mark Ronson, and exploded to the top ten of the U.K. charts, which begs the question: how come this guy isn’t huge everywhere?
After hearing his latest offering, “Chainsaw,” I find that question even tougher to answer. Merriweather expertly crafts soulful, bluesy, intelligent pop music. “Chainsaw” features him singing over an old-school background, funky electronic keyboard all. He croons, Stevie Wonder style, making sure to emphasize the “soul” in “shoulders” and “older.” He fills the song with “la-la-la-s” and “woah-oh-oh-s.”
This song gets me ridiculously excited for Merriweather’s upcoming album, which will be released under Ronson’s record label. Hopefully an overdose of horns, piano, and Merriweather’s phenomenal voice will combine for an album that brings back the funk.

He has an amazing duet with Adele, too.
where can I find that?
I also love his song with Wale
I like this a lot..love the laid back sound. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes.
I first heard about him through the “Prime” motion picture soundtrack in 2005 (y’know, that box office flop with Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep). Anyway, his song on the soundtrack, “She’s Got Me,” is really awesome as well but I couldn’t find much info on him at the time. Can’t wait for his new album!
he’s got a great voice but I hated his choice of lead single in the UK it sucked
Been waiting for more from Daniel since I first heard him on Ronson’s first album back in ’03. Great voice, and his cover of Stop Me on ‘Version’ was great too.
