Daniel Merriweather – Love & War Album Review
[rating:79/100]
While Daniel Merriweather may not be a household name right now, it’s only a matter of time. Since his collaboration with Mark Ronson on “Stop Me”, his musical career has progressed in leaps and bounds, taking him far from his native Australia, and is likely to take off in a big way any day now. Merriweather is the latest bright young thing to tag onto the retro revival spearheaded by Amy Winehouse et al, and his debut album, Love & War, is an estimable showcase of his refreshingly down-to-earth talent.

Daniel Merriweather and Adele – Water And A Flame
[rating:84/100]
Ladies and gentlemen, here are your new voices in soul music.
Daniel Merriweather blew us all away with his single “Chainsaw” off of his upcoming album, and now PMA presents you with another stellar track; this one more beautiful than funky. Adele’s voice compliments his gorgeously, as the two sing back-and-forth, calling, responding, and duetting on the climactic chorus.
Starting with nothing more than shushed choir “ooo-s,” “Water And A Flame” grows into a haunting ballad, with an exceptional melody, fantastic strings and instrumentals in the background, and two of modern soul’s best voices singing together. Just over halfway through the song, Merriweather and Adele trade off verses, each trying to top the last with a higher note or a more prominent raspy vocal- and it works to stunning effect.
This is straight off of Merriweather’s upcoming album Love And War, which could prove to be one of 2009’s best if the first few singles are any indication.
Take a listen for yourself. Continue reading →

Daniel Merriweather – Chainsaw
[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. Continue reading →
