Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Guardian
Come for catchy hooks sung in an affected southern accent, not for insightful and, intimate songwriting.
-
Slant
After all, Trainor is no Amy Winehouse, lacking both that singer’s raw emotive talent and Back to Black’s ability to infuse her period sound with a distinctly 21st-century sonic and lyrical sophistication.
-
Rolling Stone
To her credit, Trainor – whose torch-y, tangy vocals can suggest a scrubbed-up Amy Winehouse – co-wrote every tune.
-
Los Angeles Times
Which would be fine, perhaps, if so much of this album didn't insist that each of us has a responsibility to live his or her personal truth.
-
Spin
But if she was actually as clever as her press release and titled the album It Girl With Staying Power, she might actually have staying power.
-
The Telegraph
The whole thing is relentlessly cute and glancing.
-
Dead Press
Ultimately, ‘Title’ has a strong feminist theme and deals with many different topics such as body image, adultery, and chivalry.
-
Backseat Mafia
Presented with a significant lack of talent and a juvenile sense of what qualifies for lyrical content, it’s an album that won’t do anything to further her musical career.
-
Breathe Heavy
Title as a whole is a very mixed affair but in the end it probably excels as much as it fails.
-
Under The Gun
It’s certainly the soundtrack to a good time.
-
Pop Dust
Okay, Meghan... you've captivated us! Show the world you can actually sing and you're not all about autotune. And oh my.... she really does prove that.
-
The Pop Break
The result is an album that should have been interesting, but ends up sounding like a lounge act that would please your grandmother.
-
The Upcoming
Despite some weaknesses, the wins outweigh the misses on this album, which is about the best a debut artist can ask for.
-
Renowned For Sound
The swinging rhythms and sweet harmonies of doo-wop groups like the Shangri-Las and Ronettes are clear inspirations on the album’s production.
-
Daily News
Trainor may be talented, with a large voice and a witty writing style, but over the course of the album she crosses the line from confident to smug.
-
Arts & Culture
Title is worth a listen, though doing so in one sitting is ill-advised.
-
Richer Sounds
Yes, her sound is extremely repetitive, but I’d much prefer to hear someone’s own sound than a copy.
-
Evigshed Mag
All in all, Title brings something different on the current pop scene with its infectious doo-wop groove modern , original and diverse but also lyrics both honest and realistic that people can relate to its own situation.
-
Days With Destiny
The album has a family friendly sound, but it tackles mature topics in a fresh new way.
-
The Inscribe
But for a girl who’s all about that bass, she bangs into the industry with a debut album that brings a fresh take on a classic musical era.
-
Sunderland Echo
Title is a brisk, insubstantial record which bows to close scrutiny yet is perfectly palatable as a form of light entertainment.
-
Digital Journal
Overall, Meghan Trainor's debut studio effort is delightful.
-
Music Is My Religion
The entire album is a breath of fresh air.
