Review
Meghan Trainor’s debut album "Title" really puts her on the map with a unique mix of doo-wop, pop, and R&B. Released in 2015, the album is a mix of upbeat jams and deeper tracks that talk about self-respect, girl power, and complex relationships. The standout hit "All About That Bass" took over the world, hitting number one in 58 countries and making Meghan a major new artist. Other awesome tracks like "Lips Are Movin," "Dear Future Husband," and the John Legend collaboration "Like I’m Gonna Lose You" show off her knack for catchy, memorable tunes and relatable lyrics.
What I love about "Title" is its retro vibe, pulling from 1950s and 1960s doo-wop and soul, but still feeling fresh. Meghan’s powerful voice and the rich instrumentation really give a nostalgic yet modern feel. The production is top-notch, with each song showing a different style and mood. Her lyrics are clever and insightful, focusing a lot on female empowerment and independence. The title track "Title" is a perfect example, where Meghan doesn’t hold back in asking for respect in relationships. Even though some critics felt the sound was a bit repetitive, "Title" is a strong debut that shows Meghan Trainor’s talent and promise. Its commercial success, debuting at number one in several countries and going multi-platinum, speaks volumes. This album totally marks Meghan as a rising star in the music world. - Sofia
