It didn’t take Meiko much time to retool after the October release of her third full-length “Dear You.” The L.A.-based singer-songwriter is back with a new EP with a title that reveals her favorite two themes, “Lovers & Fighters.” It arrives just in time for Feb. 14, of course, complete with pink hearts on the cover and five funny musical valentines inside. The retro-charming “You’re Mine (The Chase)” nicks Cher’s 1966 hit “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” with the chorus “Bang bang / I got you now,” and the new “Oh My Soul” is an old-fashioned torch song. There’s a reprise of the live favorite “Sweeter” from last year’s album, and Meiko is at her impish best on “Raincoat Song,” which is not about the weather. “Lovers & Fighters” is currently selling for the price of a single on iTunes (Meiko reports on social media that listing it that way was a mistake, so she’s just running with it). Sweets.
