The Bright Side, Meiko's second solo release and Fantasy Records/Concord debut, is an intimate, fearless song-cycle about risk, regret, tenderness and love. Her indelible melodies and sharp lyrical viewpoint give The Bright Side a powerful, artistic punch. It features eleven songs that blend sumptuous folk-pop with thumping electronic beats that Meiko helped create with producers Jimmy Messer, Greg Collins and Belgian electro-pop wiz Styrofoam, known for his remixes of songs by The Postal Service and The Submarines. "The new songs were all born on the guitar, but I wanted to make this record a little more lively," she says. "We played around with beats and came up with something that people could move to. There is more color, layers and texture this time around - acoustic guitars, piano, strings, horns and background harmonies." Small town girl turned internationally beloved singer/songwriter Meiko is scheduled to follow up her 2008 debut with sophomore full-length The Bright Side. Her self-titled, self-released debut (later reissued on conglomerate Lucky Ear/MySpace/DGC labels) propelled the Georgia-born singer into the public ear with each of its 11 songs finding placement in popular television shows like Grey's Anatomy. The Bright Side was recorded with producers Styrofoam (Postal Service, Of Montreal) and Jimmy Messer (Neon Trees, Kelly Clarkson) and features more of the definition-of-cute contemporary alternative fare that's already won Meiko fans the world over. The album is preceded by videos for two singles, "Stuck On You" and "Leave the Lights On."
