Untitled

Title is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was released on January 9, 2015, by Epic Records. The album serves as a replacement of Trainor's 2014 extended play of the same name, and is made up of a standard 11-track edition and deluxe edition with four extra songs. It was predominantly written and composed by Trainor and Kevin Kadish, and produced by the latter. Other collaborators on the album include Chris Gelbuda and Jesse Frasure, while John Legend and Shy Carter serve as its only featured artists. Title was developed as a "very honest" album for all ages, with "very honest" storylines. It reflects on changes in Trainor's life and in her artistic process, and is intended as a source of empowerment for youth. Sonically, Title was inspired by Trainor's love for throwback style records, and the 1950s and 1960s eras in music. She honed the album's sound by incorporating different combinations of genres, including: Caribbean, doo-wop, hip hop, soca and pop, among others.

The album has been preceded by two commercially successful singles. "All About That Bass", released as the album's lead single on June 30, 2014, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and the UK Singles Chart for four. The song peaked at number one in 58 countries worldwide and became one of the best-selling singles of all time. The second single "Lips Are Movin", released on October 21, 2014, marked Trainor's second consecutive top five hit with a peak of number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Trainor has promoted Title through a series of public appearances and televised live performances, as well as on the Jingle Ball Tour 2014. The album's supporting concert tour, That Bass Tour, commences on February 11, 2015.

Background and development

On August 13, 2014, Trainor and her management held a meeting to prospect the concept and release of Title.[5] By August 19, 2014, the record was initially completed, though Trainor revealed to USA Today that a song that was written in eight minutes was to be recorded for the album the same day.[6] Trainor also said that the album would comprise "a few" power ballads and that most of its production was handled by Kevin Kadish. The singer said Nashville producer Chris Gelbuda was also involved with the record's production, and stated that she wrote a song with Jesse Frasure, who previously co-wrote with Trainor on American group Rascal Flatts' Rewind (2014).[4] On August 30, 2014, Trainor told Jim Sullivan of the Cape Cod Times that Title would be released in November or December 2014.[7] However, in an interview with Billboard on September 21, 2014, Trainor stated that the album was "pretty much done" and that she had one more song left to complete. She also quipped, "I'm saving huge singles for [Title]".[8] Speaking to Robbie Daw of Idolator, Trainor stated:

"I've got songs. That's the big point we're trying to get across is that [I'm] so diverse, and [I'm] an artist. 'She's not a one-hit wonder!' It's doing so well, but it's almost scary. Like, 'Can she follow it?' I think my other songs are better. I'm like, 'All About That Bass'? Wait, I got this one though!' They're all anthem-y. All of them have that feel. Lyrically, there's nothing like you've ever heard, which is very cool. It's awesome."[5]

In October 2014, it was announced that Trainor had to go on vocal rest during the recording of Title after she developed polyps on her vocal cords. As a result, Kadish made use of demo vocal takes Trainor had recorded as guides. Following her vocal rest, Trainor was initially discouraged by her vocal being weaker than it was before. Speaking to USA Today she mentioned, "Kevin would calm me down, we'd dim the lights, so I wouldn't get frustrated".[9] Some of the album was recorded with Trainor lying on her back, on a bed Kadish made her in studio, to improve her vocal strength.[9] Speaking to Stacy Lambe of Out, the singer mentioned, "First album, you show them what you can do and then the second album, you can do whatever you want. And that's what I'm gonna do."[10] Trainor said on October 7, 2014, that the album was made up of 14 tracks, 10 of which were co-written and produced by Kadish.[11] The singer revealed on October 14, 2014, that Title contained a country song of which its production is made up entirely of her ukelele melody, and that she was searching for a country artist to feature on the track.[12] On November 11, 2014, a rumor arose that Trainor had collaborated with One Direction singer Harry Styles, which Trainor did not confirm nor deny.[13] Trainor revealed to Ryan Seacrest on December 19, 2014, that she had completed recording a collaboration with American singer Jason Derulo.[14]

Writing and inspiration

"When they told me, 'You should write an album,' I thought, 'What would I want to say to the world?' I want to help myself. I want to make sure guys take me on a date and treat me right because I didn't do that in the past. I want to love my body more. I just hope younger girls love themselves more, and younger people in general. I always wrote that down on my vision boards at home: people should love themselves more. I wish I did when I was in high school growing up."

—Trainor speaking to Nolan Feeney of Time about the album's lyrical content.[15]

Title was developed as a "very honest" album for all ages, with "very honest" storylines.[16] The writing on Title reflects on the changes in Trainor's life and in her artistic process.[17] In addition, the singer intended the album as a source of empowerment for youth, and wrote its content as songs she wish she had before going into high school.[18] Sonically, the album was inspired by Trainor's love for throwback style records, and the 1950s and 1960s eras in music.[13] She honed the album's sound by incorporating different combinations of genres, including: Caribbean, doo-wop,[16] hip hop,[13] soca and pop.[16] The record's cohesion was influenced by the works of American group the Fugees.[19] "All About That Bass" was composed by Trainor when she was an unsigned recording artist.[20] As a songwriter, Trainor "shopped" the song around at various record labels and offered it to numerous artists, including American singer Beyoncé,[19] all of which declined Trainor's offer. However, in February 2014, Trainor was signed to Epic Records by chairman L.A. Reid after she performed the song for him in its demo form. Reid suggested that the song should remain as a demo form but have additional audio mastering.[20] The inspiration for "All About That Bass" was obtained from Trainor's struggle with her body image during adolescence, doo-wop, Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" (2010).[21] and The Chordettes' "Lollipop" (1958).[22]

"Dear Future Husband" was inspired by Trainor's love for harmonies,[17] and a joke Trainor made with her father, where she said her future husband "is out there somewhere, chilling".[23] Trainor reminisced on her past romantic relationships where she was mishandled, and with the track, she wanted to make a statement that women should be treated better by their boyfriends.[24] "3am" and "Walkashame" were composed as "fun" songs in the same vein as "All About That Bass".[11] "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was a demo Trainor composed and recorded "years ago," left off the album's initial track listing. However, Trainor's uncle insisted her management to listen to the track.[25] Upon hearing the song, Trainor's manager burst into tears and stated that it had to appear on Title. Trainor then recorded and produced the final version of "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" with a friend and sent it to American singer John Legend, who shared the same management as Trainor. Legend replied, stating, "I love this I want to be a part of it," and later appeared on the track as a featured vocalist.[25]

Trainor felt the title track showcased what her artistic style was about, and said, "I loved that 'Title' showed a little Caribbean drum before the chorus and then, like, a rap bridge that was, like…[a] totally different sound."[26] It was described by the singer as "call me your girlfriend, I'm sick of being your boo thing, so call me your girlfriend and give me that title".[27] "What If I" was written as a heartfelt ballad, and was inspired by an experience where Trainor was asked out on her first date, by a rock artist, who asked her at the end of the date, "What if I kissed you tomorrow?".[11] Recorded on August 19, 2014, "Lips Are Movin" served as a late addition to Title.[6] It was written in eight minutes. Trainor honed the song's inspiration from a situation where she caught one of her label colleagues lying, and American singer Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" (2007). She altered its message to deal with the subject of being cheated on, so that her listeners could relate to it better. Moreover, at the time of the track's development, Trainor reflected on her previous romantic relationship where she was cheated on and where her then-boyfriend dismissed her aspirations to become a pop star.[13]

Music and lyrics

The album's second track "All About That Bass", is a bubblegum pop, doo-wop song.[28] It contains elements from a complex mix of several genres; R&B,[29] hip hop,[30] tropical,[29] country and rock and roll.[31] Sonically, "All About That Bass" comprises an earworm hook,[28] an early 1960s soul-pop groove,[6] scatting tempo and shimmying melody.[32] Lyrically, "All About That Bass" serves as a callout to embrace one's appearance and promote a positive body image.[28] The song metaphorically refers to the appearance of a woman's bottom.[29] Larger women are described as "bass" and thinner women as "treble", which Trainor implies as a joke about "thick and thin".[19] The lyric "I'm bringing booty back" references Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" (2006).[33] The song also calls out the fashion industry for creating unreachable standards of beauty.[34] "Dear Future Husband" is a doo-wop song,[26] and lyrically comprises a list of factors Trainor's love interests should be aware of before proposing to her.[27] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone dubbed the song "a YA dream that's no pastel-colored fantasy," and opined, "[Trainor] imagines marriage as contract between equals who work and don't cook".[35] The melody in "Dear Future Husband" was likened to 1961 songs "Runaround Sue" by Dion and "Quarter to Three" by Gary U.S. Bonds.[17][35] Sonically the song contains a series of slick production slap-beats, a rock-inspired drum track, zippy piano and ebullient brass instrumentation.[33][36] The fourth track on Title, "Close Your Eyes", is a modern slow dance ballad about ignoring negativity and loving yourself on your own terms.[36][37][38] Backed by an acoustic guitar, Trainor solicits a nuanced, soulful, fluttery vocal performance afront pitch-shifted background vocals on the track.[33] "3am" deals with the subject of drunk texting.[16]

The title track is an upbeat soca-pop song,[4][39] and blends horns and background vocals with ukelele folk-pop and island percussion morphed into a programmed beat.[36] It contains a ska-influenced bridge,[20] handclaps and subtle modern sound effects. Trainor uses an assertive throwback aural tone on the song.[36] The rap verse in "Title" was compared to the works of Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and American duo Karmin.[33] The song's lyrics see Trainor demanding her lover to put a name on their relationship status.[35] Christina Garibaldi of MTV News wrote that the song serves a lesson for women not to settle for a friends-with-benefits relationship.[40] The album's eleventh track, "Lips Are Movin", is a bubblegum pop, doo-wop song.[41][42] It follows a half-sung, half-rapped format and comprises a retro-soul melody, beat and percussion-heavy arrangement.[43][44] Sonically the track is upbeat and features Trainor soliciting a "feisty," "spunky" and "sassy" delivery.[45] It contains a throwback style rhythm and elements of hip hop.[44] Lyrically, the song tells off a cheating, lying, boyfriend while asserting Trainor's physical assets.[43][46]

"Lips Are Movin" was released as the album's second single on October 21, 2014,[75] despite initial plans of "Dear Future Husband" and "Title" serving as Trainor's follow-up.[76] The single garnered positive reviews from music critics, many of which compared it to "All About That Bass",[77][78] while others felt the song eliminated Trainor's one-hit wonder status and manifested her as a rival for current successful female pop acts.[41] Commercially, "Lips Are Movin" became Trainor's second consecutive single to reach the top five in Australia and on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it has peaked at numbers three and four respectively.[79][80] It also marked the singer's third top ten hit in New Zealand where it reached number six.[81]

Despite not being released as singles, "Dear Future Husband" and "Title" managed to appear on several national charts. The former peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 87 in Canada and number 27 in New Zealand.[82] While the latter bowed at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Trainor's second consecutive top ten hit in New Zealand where it peaked at number nine,[81] and was certified gold by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) for sales of 7,500 units.[83] On August 18, 2014, Trainor announced that a music video for "Dear Future Husband" was conceptualized by Fatima Robinson who previously directed Trainor's clip for "All About That Bass".[27] A music video for "Title" was shot in Los Angeles on October 21, 2014, at a downtown movie palace.[20] It was directed by Robinson.[11] Its premise follows a theme inspired by the AAU Mr. America pageant. Trainor was accompanied by several film makers and male models who wore sashes, while sporting a sparkling dress and lime green fur for the shoot.[20]
