Review
You absolutely HAVE to give Meghan Trainor’s album “Thank You” a whirl! Released in 2016, this collection speaks to her versatility and fearless growth as an artist. The moment you hit play, you’re treated to a vibrant blend of dance, hip-hop, funk, and a dash of Caribbean vibes! And oh my gosh, Trainor’s exploration of these genres just shows how wide her musical range is.
Tracks like “No,” “Me Too,” and “Better” highlight powerful themes of self-acceptance and empowerment. “No” especially had a moment, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100; that defiant message of self-pride is just TOP-NOTCH! Meanwhile, “Me Too” and “Better” kept the momentum going, also charting impressively. Plus, the album features cool collaborations with talents like Yo Gotti and LunchMoney Lewis, taking it to another level entirely!
While some critics had mixed feelings about the lyrics, “Thank You” was a commercial bam – flying high at number three on the US Billboard 200 and getting Platinum certifications in the US and Canada. The Untouchable Tour following the album’s release was the cherry on top, delighting fans everywhere from July to September 2016. It's super clear that “Thank You” is an exciting chapter in Trainor's musical journey, packed with inspiring tracks for an experience that’s anything but ordinary! - Brittney
