In May of 2019, acclaimed singer-songwriter MEIKO independently released her fifth studio album, In Your Dreams. The single from the LP, "Gimme Gimme", was played on dozens of radio stations across the U.S., and it went viral on TikTok, with thousands of fan-made videos garnering close to a million likes.Exactly one year later, amidst some of the strangest days we've lived through in our collective lifetimes, Meiko releases her latest batch of tunes, a three-song, aptly-titled Weird World EP.Recorded in Nashville just prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, Meiko has been able to capture the feelings of loneliness and isolation many of us are currently experiencing.The first of the three songs, "Roll Out", was written about the desire to exit a particularly trying romantic relationship. "My sister and I would always ask one another if we were 'ready to roll out' when we found ourselves in uncomfortable settings", Meiko says. "I found the phrase appropriate for the situation I was in while writing, but it's also timely now since everyone is more than ready to 'roll out' into a normal, COVID 19-free routine.""Weird World", the title track, was inspired by Meiko's feelings of being weighed down by world news. "I was bummed out about all the divisiveness on TV news programs, and with 'Weird World', I'm telling myself to start paying attention to more important things. A personal pep talk, in a way, that I hope also inspires listeners!"The third track, "Save Me Now", is about missing someone and feeling alone. “This is a song about sinking into to the newfound uncomfortable quiet in isolation and how that affects our mental health”If there was ever a collection of songs that represent how the general population is collectively feeling, Meiko's Weird World EP is it. And while things are a little lonely and a lot weird, as she says in the title track, we'll "kick all of the ass that we need to."Website Link: Meikomusic.comSocial Media Links: Facebook.com/meikomusicInstagram.com/meikomusicTwitter.com/meiko
