Daniel Merriweather // Stop Me (Live Acoustic)

Daniel Merriweather would have to be one of my favourite vocalists. His voice has such a rich, soulful tone to it, and has just a little bit of roughness to it.

As a vocalist on Mark Ronson’s take on “Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before”, Merriweather excels on giving us painful emotions on a version the song which is completely different to the original. Despite obvious differences, I felt that “Stop Me”was a refreshing take on The Smiths track, coming off as a different track in its own right.

This acoustic version allows Daniel’s vocals to take centre stage, on what yet again sounds like a different track. In stripped back mode,  ”Stop Me” doesn’t sound quite as dark as the studio version. However Daniel’s vocal delivery adds a sense of hopelessness to the song, a quality which I really appreciate in a singer. Even when sampling The Supremes “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” (which is the surprise highlight of this track) Daniel still manages to keep the desperate mood of the song alive, in what is a genius combination of tracks thanks to Mr Ronson.
