New Music: Title

My new album for January was Meghan Trainor’s Title. After her fantastic songs All about that Bass, Title, Dear Future Husband, and Your Lips Are Movin, I was really stoked for her album. Unfortunately, the best has already been heard.

Mr. Almost and Walkashame were fun (although I got sick of hearing her say her daddy knows she’s a good girl) but most of the other songs are forgettable. Overall it’s fun but all of her best stuff dropped before the album did. Plus Trainor has a repetitive style of song with a strong consistency of her ‘retro made new’ sound made the album feel redundant at times.

Title is an album for the digital age. It has a lot of great singles that sound unique until you hear the same thing 12 times in a row. It works best split onto playlists and shuffled with other songs. 

Kesha is a good example of the repetitive lyric and song style but messes with different beats, mixes, and several other elements to make her songs different from each other. Trainor needs to experiment with different elements in her songs more to keep her songs from bleeding together. 

I look forward to what Trainor will do in the future and I'll keep rocking the best of her current efforts.
