Editorial Reviews

Meiko is one of the most promising singer-songwriters to emerge from the Los Angeles music scene in recent years. Counting among her influences artists as diverse as Patty Griffin, Sade, and Portishead, Meiko has managed to create songs of sweet disquiet that are all her own. In early 2007, Meiko performed at the Sundance Film Festival and caught the ear of Paste Magazine editor Josh Jackson, who boldly declared her a "big success story" waiting to happen; predicting it was "only a matter of time" before she found her way onto Nic Harcourt's influential "Morning Becomes Eclectic" radio program on KCRW. It was a prognostication that proved especially prophetic, as just a few months later Meiko's music became a staple of the L.A. radio station's playlists. 1 Reasons To Love You 2 How Lucky We Are 3 Heard It All Before 4 Piano Song 5 Hiding 6 Sleep 7 Said And Done 8 Walk By 9 Under My Bed 10 Hawaii 11 (untitled)

I had the pleasure of seeing this fine singer/songwriter at a local club. Just Meiko and her guitar. She was opening for Brett Dennen (also great). Her music has a interesting dynamic. Simple but yet complex. Niave but knowing. Seems like an oxymoron, I know, but the result is hauntingly beautiful. I bought this cd from her that night and haven't taken it out of my car cd changer since. Thanks Meiko!

I listen to the radio about 8 to 10 hours a day, every day, and when I heard "The Piano Song" from this album, it immediately stood out among all the other music I constantly hear. Partially because of it's catchy nature and partially because of the intriguing voice of Meiko - up there with my personal female-voice favorites of Natalie Merchant, Maddy Prior, Fiona Apple, Suzanne Vega, Dido, Dolores O'Riordan, etc. Happily, the rest of this debut CD is equally as great with memorable songs that have a natural, relaxed, honest feeling to them. There are few performers where I feel the entire CD is great as opposed to just one or two songs - this is one of those CDs.

To be honest, I had never heard of her until thurs 10/25. My friends and I were going to see Mat Kearney and she is his opening act. She rocks! Very personable and funny. We all got a picture with her after the show. She's very cool!
