With all of the exciting news in the music world in 2014 from artists we all know and love like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, 1D, and Maroon 5, last year also made room for several prominent newcomers in the mainstream, one of them being Meghan Trainor.

Trainor released two top 10 singles in 2014 that were featured on her first full-length album in early 2015. Called Title, this album pays tribute to the unique style and character of Meghan Trainor. If you haven’t listened to the rest of her album yet, whether it be due to lack of time, interest, or the anticipation of it being just another bubble-gum pop album from the next one hit wonder, its time to reconsider and here is why.

Title is not only an album that produced two hits for Trainor, but also separates her from the current trend in popular music. Meghan’s style is not only unique but refreshing in that it is reminiscent of older pop music from past decades. Her beats may be made in a high tech studio, but Meghan has incorporated the doo-wop age, the 80’s pop era and many more styles into the style of modern pop, creating a totally new and exciting sound for herself.

Title features hits “All About That Bass” and “Lips Are Movin’.” These two songs dominated the charts in 2014 and continue to be played on almost every station. They are popular because of their catchy lyrics and irresistible dance beats.

The song “Dear Future Husband” bears and almost frightening resemblance to Olly Murs’s “Dance With Me Tonight.” Nonetheless, it is extremely catchy and will have you dancing within the first ten seconds. “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” is a sweet ballad in which Trainor is accompanied by equally sweet John Legend. “Walkashame” is the college student theme song you have been waiting for, celebrating the morning after a “bad” night that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to, and I’ve never heard another song about the topic yet. “My Selfish Heart” definitely is modeled after the doo-wop style of music that was popular in the 1950s, showing that Meghan Trainor is well educated in her music history and knows how to celebrate other genres of music. “3 am” is another song that is relatable to a lot of young people, being up late at night texting a crush when maybe you shouldn’t.

All of these songs represent the youth of today and the fact that people have an artist going through the same life experiences as they are. Trainor has definitely shown that this is only the beginning for her career. You can see her next Sunday on the Grammy’s as she is nominated for Record of the Year for “All About That Bass” and Song of the Year. I can’t wait to see where Trainor’s career goes next.
