Love & War

Love & War is the debut studio album by Australian singer Daniel Merriweather, first released on 1 June 2009. Largely co-written and produced by British-American producer Mark Ronson, with additional contribution from Eg White, it features string arrangements by David Campbell. Musically, the album combines elements of soul, Motown, and 1970s pop, arranged to complement Merriweather's vocal style within a cohesive retro-influenced production. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Merriweather's soulful vocals and Ronson's strong retro-soul production, though some compared it unfavorably to Ronson's production on Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. Commercially, Love & War debuted at number two in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, with the latter eventually awarding it a platinum certification. The album's first two singles "Change" and "Red" both cracked the UK top ten.
