MEG is not the girl we see on the CD cover. MEG is a group and the singer's name is Marieke Eijkenaar-van Grimbergen (which you can indeed shorten to ... MEG). Marieke was a backing singer in the band of Dilana Smith, a South African singer who lived in the Netherlands for some time. When Dilana's husband had to move to America for work, she emigrated with him and with pain in her heart left her
… entire relationship. Fortunately, Marieke dared to take the place of lead singer and together the performed company made the CD My Kitchen. In her hometown The Hague, Marieke / MEG has already been compared to Anouk, but as far as I am concerned she is more on the level of Birgit (Schuurman). She makes heavy pop rock with the occasional ballad. Marieke has a great voice and sings without mannerisms. Of the three self-written songs, Go Away stands out and that's why it's a shame that there are too many covers on My Kitchen. When MEG takes the time to write more songs of its own, it can become an important Dutch band. Until then, I prefer to use the term talented. (MvP)more
