Australian pop star Daniel Merriweather has made a thrilling announcement on social media, revealing his return to the music industry after almost two decades. The 42-year-old artist, best known for his collaboration with Mark Ronson on the hit single "Stop Me," is back with a new single titled "99 Times."
Merriweather first rose to fame in 2007 when he featured on Mark Ronson's album "Version" and their fresh take on The Smiths' classic "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before." The single reached number two on the charts and led to a Brit Awards performance with Ronson. In 2009, Merriweather released his debut studio album "Love & War," which included successful singles like "Red" and "Change" featuring Wale.
Despite his early success and collaborations with artists like Adele, Merriweather took a step back from the industry. But now, he's ready to make a comeback and has shared his new single "99 Times" with his 10k followers on Instagram. The post features a grainy photo of the artist in a white vest, revealing his tattooed arms, and a green background with the title "99" on the second slide. Merriweather is releasing his music independently under his label, A New Dawn.
Fans are already raving about his return, with many leaving comments expressing their love for the new single. And although this is his first major release in years, Merriweather has kept busy, featuring on various singles and touring with artists like Corinna Bailey Rae. In 2020, he also released two singles, "Paradise" and "Rain," teasing a comeback that never fully materialized.
But now, Merriweather is back with a bang and has already released four singles this year, including "Indivisible," "Orbit," and "Love." He explained that "Orbit" was inspired by his recent discovery that he is native to a country that he was always told his ancestors had stolen. The song is about breaking free from society's expectations and realizing that everyone deserves to be wherever they are.
In a separate post, Merriweather confirmed that he has an EP in the works. Looking back on his early days in the industry, he spoke about his chemistry with Mark Ronson and how their shared love for hip-hop and soul music brought them together. He also praised Ronson's talent for making him listen and challenging his own stubbornness.
