Meiko

I refuse to buy the album. I may purchace the mp3 download for the song, "Hawaii" because that song is AMAZING!!!!!!!! However, the rest of the album (which i listened to full on her myspace page) is slooooww and sounds like stuff that I've heard before. I wish I could just buy the single for Hawaii..

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.

she is very good.
her voice is super nice, melodic, and the songs are thoughtful and fun.

A sweet and poppy album...with some catchy melodies. She has a sweet voice but lacking a bit in the lyric department. More substance can be found in singer-songwriters, Arrica Rose andRachel Yamagata who write lyrics that have so much more depth...that make you feel.

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!
