MANILA, Philippines – Daniel Merriweather is 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 hottest albums.
The result is an album that pulses with gritty hip-hop beats, ‘60s soul keyboards and horns, warm textures of acoustic and electric guitar, and cinematic string arrangements, all anchored by Merriweather’s combustible vocals. Love & War is also a showcase for the young Aussie’s considerable songwriting talents. Merriweather wrote nearly every song on the album on acoustic guitar with various musician friends.
It is bannered by Change which advises people to look at themselves in the mirror before judging anyone else.
Under Sony Music, Love & War is now available in record stores nationwide
