Pop Music Thursdays - Meiko
Thursday, December 25, 2008 at 05:01PM
This week I thought I'd look back at my favorite new artist of 2008 -- Meiko.
I first stumbled upon Meiko, back in January, through one of my all-time favorite music discovery sites: The Sixty One. She even wrote a message on my wall when I complimented her - sweet! Ok, maybe she only wrote "Thanks", but at least she took the time to respond .
"Reasons to Love You" and "How Lucky We Are" and "Boys with Girlfriends" are probably her most popular songs. But I also really love "Sleep".
She's an emotional singer and that's probably the biggest draw for me. While she's singing about heartache and pain, I find some calmness when I listen to her music. My only regret is that I missed her at the Great American Music Hall, TWICE this year.
I'm curious to see where her career goes. There are a TON of female singer-songwriters in the music industry these days, but I really think she stands out in the crowd.
