Blue-eyed soulster and Mark Ronson collaborator Daniel Merriweather releases his full length debut disc Love And War in April, and buzz is building for the Aussie singer. What better way to fuel the publicity fire than a duet with Grammy-winner Adele?
"Water And A Flame" is a classic R&B break-up jam, with the two retro-pop fans crooning effortlessly over a smooth drumbeat and some gentle strings and Motown-esque back ground vocals. Adele's voice has a emotional quiver that reminds me of Amy Winehouse, and Daniel sound right at home among the Ronson-esque nu-soul instrumentation. It's not quite the showstopping pop moment that "Stop Me" (from Ronson's Version) was, but still a lovely slow song.
