Artist Highlight: Daniel Merriweather

We first heard Daniel Merriweather's soulful vocals when he collaborated with English DJ/ producer Mark Ronson for a cover version of "Stop Me". Since then Daniel has been working on his solo material and he's ready to release his first single titled "Change" which is a classic R&B pop anthem of his first LP Love & War. Another great song on the LP is his collaboration with Adele titled "Water and a Flame".

His LP is full of stumping bass, satisfying drums, piano and saxophone/trumpet/horn. It's funky, soulful yet proving to be very catchy and lines into the same league as some of today's most famous R&B male artists can deliver. Check out some tracks off his new album titled Love & War already released overseas.

  13. The songs called change , Which means it doesnt revolve around women being sluts . I personally think women are being underestimated by men saying that we are hoe's . Its Just wrong . Go look ata 50 cent video ..
