Daley ft Jessie J – ‘Remember Me’ (Remixes)
Released: 19th November 2012 (Levels Ent./Polydor Records)
Daley celebrates a double Soul Train Award nomination to announce debut single ‘Remember Me’.
Daley has just finished his tour support with Maverick Sabre and will be holding his headline date Tuesday 20th November 2012 @ KOKO
What do Maxwell, Angie Stone, Jill Scott and Pharrell share in common? They all love Daley. This adoration for a new and relatively unknown 22-year-old blue-eyed boy from Manchester from some of the most respected voices in neo-soul speaks for itself; Daley is THE one to watch. If this is the first you’ve heard of Daley, click on this link to listen to his jaw dropping acoustic performance of Maxwell’s ‘Pretty Wings and you’ll see what all the fuss is about.
Also there aren’t many new artists releasing their debut single in the UK alongside two US Soul Train Award Nominations (The Centric and Best Intl Performance Awards) and a sell-out performance at S.O.B’s in New York.
Daley’s long-awaited debut single, ‘Remember Me’ featuring fellow Brit Jessie J will be released on November 19th through Levels/Polydor Records/Universal Republic Records, a track which has already gained early spins from BBC Radio 1 as well as being added straight to Choice FM and BBC Radio 1Xtra’s playlists. The single even trended at #2 on UK Twitter during it’s first ever radio play.
‘Remember Me’ is a bass station stomp smash featuring two of the UK’s most exciting new vocal talents in Daley and Jessie J. The track samples Blue Boy‘s 90s dance track of the same name (itself a sample work of Marlena Shaw‘s “Woman of the Ghetto”) and has already gained 80k views on YouTube – click here to listen. The track was produced by The White N3rd and Ballistiq, the production team behind some of Delilah’s best known tracks and Paul Heard (Wretch 32, ‘Don’t Go’).
Daley released his first solo material last year. What was meant to be a low key EP called ‘Those Who Wait’ that he created himself and tweeted out to his fans, has now achieved over 100,000 downloads and was immediately picked up by all the big blogs. His videos have already created quite a stir on both sides of the pond, clocking up over six million hits on YouTube; A mighty feat for an established artist, let alone a new one!
It doesn’t stop there either. Daley’s also featured on some big songs over the last year or two including: ‘Long Way Home’ from Wretch 32’s Top 5 debut album, ‘Alone Together’ with ex-Floetry singer Marsha Ambrosius (for which they’re nominated for a Soul Train Award and is currently in the Top 15 of the Urban/AC) and ‘Doncamatic’ the Gorillaz track which he co-wrote with Damon Albarn.
Daley abandoned the idea of working a nine to five shortly after leaving school, investing every penny he had into his music. He began by singing in bars, on stage and to anyone and everyone that would listen. He quickly attracted the attention of DJs Mistajam and Ras Kwame and soon after that created enough momentum through social media and word of mouth to make him one of the most talked about arrivals to the UK and US underground neo-soul scene.
Daley has recently supported Maverick Sabre, Jill Scott, Jessie J and Emeli Sande on their UK tours.
