Frank Meyer Teams Up With Cherie Currie On New Single “Piece Of Me”

Frank Meyer (The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs / Trading Aces / Highway 61) has teamed up with Cherie Currie (The Runaways) on his new single, Piece of Me, that is taken from his upcoming full length, Living Between The Lines, that is due out on the 25th March via Kitten Robot Records. While the late-night sway of Piece of Me hearkens last call ​in a dive bar while the ​final song is playing on the juke, the narrative of the song relates more to the push and pull of social media. When Frank Meyer sent an early demo to Cherie Currie to help him finish out the lyrics, he kept the theme of the song close to his chest, resulting in musical kismet.

“People tell me they like my music. People tell Cherie she changed their lives. I get it. She certainly changed mine. It was an honor to have her write and sing this duet with me. The Runaways were a gigantic early influence on me and she has been instrumental in my music career. At one of the earliest gigs by my band the Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs, Cherie jumped onstage with us and sang her hit Cherry Bomb and shortly after asked us to support her and be her backing band on the road. When I wrote the first pass at ‘Piece of Me,’ I was thinking about social media and how addicted we all have become to sharing our lives. It’s as if we are constantly giving a piece of ourselves away. But what do we keep for ourselves? At what point do we give it all away? What’s left?” I didn’t tell her what inspired my parts,I just gave it to her to interpret on her own. When I got her parts back, I was blown away. When I read her lyrics, I felt like she was commenting on fame. Like, she has given so much of herself away on stage and in music and acting for so many years, what’s left for her? (Frank Meyer)
