Meiko’s Super Random Crystal Method Collaboration

Metromix.com caught up with Meiko in a Q&A, asking the singer songwriter about how she hooked up with Crystal Method on the song ‘Falling Hard’. “Super randomly. I was playing a show and they just happened to be in the audience, and afterwards both of them came up to me and they’re like, ‘We really like your voice, we want you to do a song with us,’” Meiko explained. “And sure enough, they contacted me a couple days later, and I went to the studio and they played me a couple of different songs that they were looking for writers for. And I gravitated towards, of course, the slowest one. They burned it on a CD, and I kept it in my car and I listened to it for about a month non-stop. And my manager called me one morning; he was like, ‘Did you write that song? Because we have to turn it in today.’ And I was like, ‘Hold on, give me 30 minutes.’ And I got off the phone with him and put my contacts in and just wrote the song off the top of my head and recorded it on my GarageBand and turned it in. I think I wrote it on the back of a cereal box. [Laughs]“
