Listen to Daniel Merriweather’s New Single

You’ve heard Australian R&B singer Daniel Merriweather perform his smooth vocals on famed DJ/Producer Mark Ronson’s #1 UK single "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before," but now the artist is ready to break out on his own with a new album to be released in March 2008. The new record, allegedly entitled The Fifth Season (according to some online sources) will be produced by Ronson (Amy Winehouse/Lily Allen) and released on his label, J/ Allido Records.

The Aussie’s previously released singles "City Rules" and "She's Got Me" (both 2004) quickly became club staples in London, Paris and New York.

Stream Merriweather’s latest single “Chainsaw” here.
