Meghan Trainor: Title

Jeff Vallet

Meghan Trainor began singing at the age of 6 and songwriting at age 11. She later became a member of a band called Island Fusion and a jazz band at high school. At age of 15, Trainor produced and released a self-titled album. She then attended the Berklee College of Music and found success at a variety of songwriting contests across the United States.
In 2011, she released two acoustic albums, “I’ll Sing With You” and “Only 17.” The latter earned her a song publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music, where she wrote for Rascal Flatts and Sabrina Carpenter, among others.
Trainor was signed to Epic Records by L.A. Reid after performing her song “All About That Bass” on the ukulele for him. The single went to number one. Trainor’s second single, “Lips Are Movin,” marked her second consecutive top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four.
Her debut album with a major label, “Title,” was released on Jan. 9.
Her sound is a combination of blue-eyed soul, doo-wop and popin sound. Her lyrics mainly deal with subjects of 21st-century womanhood and self-empowerment. She delivers great songs one after another on the album. I Love the whole album.
Several songs are highlights for me. Check out “What If I,” “Close Your Eyes,” and “Dear Future Husband.”
Meghan Trainor is no newcomer. She has depth and substance to her music. Some of it could be classified bubblegum pop, but this lady has a real strong message in her songs. I am impressed!
