Editorial Reviews

Product Description

2008 self titled album by Meiko with 11 tracks. Meiko started at the famed Hotel Caf‚ in Hollywood, where she was a waitress and performer before local and national buzz allowed her to put aside her drink tray for good. 'I retired from the waitressing field earlier this year,' she muses. 'Getting up in the morning and writing songs is my new profession.' Listen to her songs in a single setting and it's clear that she's very good at her job. A songwriter with a keen eye and vivid narrative gift, Meiko collects jagged moments and devastating conversational flashes and turns them into deceptively simple tunes with hushed, gentle tones and stunning detailed imagery.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this CD, November 29, 2008

By	KMocha (Lewiston, ID) - See all my reviews

I discovered Meiko when a friend from myspace put her song on his page. Then I saw her on [...] and recognized her song on a tv commercial. I loved the "Boys With Girlfriends" song so I bought the CD. I like every track on it, which is so rare. There is usually only two or three good ones. The "Piano Song" is fun and quirky with some funny things going on in the background. "Said and Done" is great, such a sad song for anyone that ever experienced a broken relationship. "How Lucky We Are" is inspiring and hopeful for better things to come. I think "Under My Bed" is becoming my favorite track, I really love this song. "Maybe Next Year" is a different sort of Christmas song, it made me laugh the first time I heard it. The other tracks are great, too.

This is on my gift giving list for a few people!

I think the remake of Meiko's album is even better than the first. I love the new song, "Boys with Girlfriends", but my favorite is still "Hawaii".

5.0 out of 5 stars Organic beauty in her tunes and lyrics, January 3, 2009

By	Bob "Bob in Big Bear Ca" (Big Bear, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

There's a sweet down to earth quality in Meiko that is refreshing in the new overly hyped world of music these days. I know that taste is music is subjective, but in my opinion it's nice to find a clear clean articulate sound that conveys both clear emotion and a story.

For those who are into the POP sound of Madonna and the likes, this might not be for you, but if your someone into good singer songwriters and adult alternative material who are able to see beyond the lights and choreography this collection of music is a jewel.
