German term or phrase: mehr als gerecht werden
"In ihren Shows präsentiert XXXXXXX neben allgemein bekannten Titel eine Reihe selbstgeschriebenen Songs, die dem internationalen Standart **mehr als gerecht werden.**"

The end of the sentence is confusing me. XXX presents also a series of songs written by herself, which... meet the international standards?

Thank you for your help! This is urgent :)

Love,
