Meiko/ ‘Playing Favorites’/ Chesky Records
Meiko reimagines a canon of '90s classics – from alt-rock to funk to hip-hop – as more intimate affairs. Jennifer Paige’s “Crush” becomes a soft acoustic ballad, The Cranberries’ “Zombie” is stripped down to a haunting minimalist feel, and other hits are transformed by Meiko’s gentle pop sensibility.
