Meiko

Discover Meiko!

I'm in shock. Really. Meiko took me completely off-guard. I wasn't expecting anything like that to ever be written, not in my lifetime. This is the first time I encounter a song that feels at once so very familiar yet strangely at the same time completely distant, almost alien. I've never felt anything comparable. This sort of sublime emotion I only knew (and believed I would only ever know) through a few movies, that very unique breed of movies where epic violence and utmost peace are put in startling contrast. This song is nothing violent, don't get me wrong, but musically speaking it's exactly the soundtrack I'd choose for, say, a long, contemplative scene in a sci-fi disaster movie of some sort...I don't know if I'm clear, if I'm making any sense with this, please excuse me if it's not the case but this song shook me to the core. Also, along with that breathtaking and confusing melody are personal lyrics about love that would make you feel lonely if you were in New York! How the heck do I respond to that??? That up-and-coming 1/4th Japanese L.A. indie artist is one big question mark. She somehow seeked out limits in my listening habits I would've never imagined, deleted tags here and there and shuffled a whole part of my mind in such a way that I'm not taking too many chances saying this song changed me. I have now to see how this will affect my future approaches to music, but I'm telling you after this song, I feel...washed. They say that's what music does, it cleans the soul. I used to think of it as just a nice idea to consider when there was nothing else to do. But this song made me a believer.

Just have a listen, and tell me. Should I like this? Should I not? Do I love it like fear itself? Or do I hate it for making me feel this lost??? This Meiko girl has to be a genius, and she's messing with my brain on this one! I am now launching what must be my 10th consecutive listen of "Hawaii", and still can't fully grasp the incredible magic that drives it, and makes it so hypnotic, so weirdly addictive. Let me sleep!!!
