Fabulous acoustic rock with a note of pop. Intelligent lyrics, great hooks that make you want to sing along while driving. Plus a few smoochy ballads, too:)

âSheâs got what it takes to be a star!â Gerald Lehner, ORF (Austrian Public Broadcasting Service)

âTruly great. In songwriting and arrangement it [the album] is really on par with international singer-songwriters.â
Angela Gobelin, NDR Info (Northgerman Public Radio)

âMeike Koester could be famous â the German Sheryl Crow â because her American singer-songwriter pop is absolutely professional and suitable for commercial radio without ever sliding into âinsignificant-la-la-pop.â meike koester knows how to sing, play guitar and write songs. [â¦] But meike koester is not backed up by the music industry. She founded her own label and is marketing herself. The advantage is, that sheâs artistically free to do what she wants. The disadvantage: Now sheâs so free, that hardly anyone knows her. Thatâs a shame, but it will hopefully change in the future.â
Susanne Burg, Deutschlandradio Kultur (German Public Radio)

âKoesterâs mix of singer-songwriter songs and west coast rock sounds fresh, full of soul and warmth. [â¦] âlive love travel freeâ is filled with beautiful songs, splendid grooves, colorful arrangements and this sunshine voice that is able to magically get the hope for a rainbow out of an â actually sad â ballad. Thereâs also a lot of variety and hit potential on this album: âGiantâs Basketballâ surprises with gloomy gothic charm, âSilverstarâ should be on the radio, âCasinoâ with Fender Rhodes and great drums, too.â
Matthias Schmidt, Hannoversche Allgemeine (CD-Tipp)

âBraunschweigâs No. 1 songwriter is constantly on tour through Europe and America â for her third band album she went back to her roots and invited Olaf Reitmeier (Hyperchild, Bosse) into the studio for her ballads and mid-tempo songs. The result [is an album with] international class and maybe will be [meikeâs] breakthrough with its mixture between Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow. With âStop Haunting Meâ she already has a potential hit song to start with.â
Matthias Schröder, Subway

â[â¦]âlive love travel freeâ contains 13 expressive pop/rock tracks, that come across as very different from the âcookie cutter standardsâ that you hear on commercial radio. Her lyrics are thoughtful and often very personal. The same is true for her songs, and for the tougher themes she also doesnât shy away from tougher sounds [â¦]â
Roland Kaschube, Bassprofessor

â[â¦] The result is an album, that leaves nothing to be desired. Perfectly crafted, musically inventive and as variable in mood as life itself are the 14 tracks of the Braunschweig musician, [â¦]. Her compositions are brimming with ideas and emotion, an art that only a few know how to master. [â¦]â
