    This debut album from Meghan Trainor has a creative, fun, and upbeat sound. Most songs are so addicting you wish they were all singles! From her quieter and lower sounding "What If I' and "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", she also features very fun and active "Walkashame" and "Mr. Almost".

    I do believe that it's downfall track is "What If I" and might have been better replaced with the leaked song released on YouTube "Over And Done". Overall, great album to listen to when you're in a dancing mood!

    The lyrics are good but they are sung with a demeaning superficiality. Per se, the tracks are enjoyable and appreciable, but they have lost their potential due to a cheapish production.

    When you hear 'Title' your ears have fun. But then the music ends and they will ask to you why you've done them to lose time.

    Superficial, smug and soulless, Trainor throws countless balls of retro influences in the air, and conspicuously fails to catch any of them. Only pre-teens and grandmothers need apply to her dull, secondhand offering.

    Meghan Trainor is a really talented confident fun artist. Unfortunately, her debut doesn't really work to show that. Her sound is gigantic but all the songs sound almost at the same made using the same formula. Standouts are "3am" and "Close Your Eyes". The ballad featuring John Legend feels tired and impersonal.

    This is a pretty album, but I'm really disappointed with the standard that Meghan has kept up. She should have innovated a little this same sound that try to be cute. In addition, the album that was more tedious to be heard in a single integer.

    After giving this album a thorough listen, I can say that it's a success. Meghan Trainor stays within the same style of music as her previous single/ep releases, but leaves us interested thanks to the presence of catchy beats and deep ballads. Standout tracks (newly released through this album) for me are No Good For You, Walkashame and Bang Dem Sticks.

    Meghan Trainor's music is so cheesy, overrated, and overall bad, it makes me angry. The fact that so many people listen to this music is absolutely absurd, and maddening.

    O álbum de Meghan Trainor é perfeito, musicas calmas, músicas que foram feitas pra Charts, e musicas pessoais, que todo álbum deve ter, pisou sem dó. Não me surpreende essa garota ter um bom futuro no mundo músical.

    Standouts: "All About That Bass," "Dear Future Husband," "3am," "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," "Bang Dem Sticks," "Walkashame," "Title," "Lips Are Movin," and "Mr. Almost."

    The music itself is not exactly absolute rubbish like others but it's still pretty bad. Horrible messages saying it's ok to be a big girl then she loses a bunch of weight, teaching girls that it's ok to be a materialistic snob and the singing is nothing special.

    First of all, many people are taking this album way too freaking seriously. Not all the music in the world should be spiritual and educational and wise and **** Absolutely not. There is a place for happy-go-lucky and breezy fun sort of music. And I feel like "Title" is just that. So, my problems with it are not of that nature. Don't search for artistic expression in this one.

Don't search for artistic expression in this one.
    However, melodies and harmonies and even lyrics are somewhat repetitive on this LP. It's a bit hard to distinguish all this happy tunes from each other because the vibe they have to them is almost one-dimensional. That's the biggest problem of the album, in my opinion. That's why I prefer slow jams of this LP because they, even if their flaws, are more memorable. Some of the songs are skipable, like "3am" and "Mr. Almost", and I think shouldn't have been on this release at all. So, upon many listens, the music gets a bit tiring, so making a selection after a few listens, and removing unnecessary songs should help it. Good thing about it is that it is unique in mainstream POP which is a great thing for Meghan. Best of luck! I hope your next LP bring a bit more variety.

    "All About That Bass" is a song without any quality beats in melody sound of a very weird way together with the voice of the singer, just lips are movin 'which is interesting because it is a fun song.

    I was really looking forward for this album for quite a long time but left disappointed with the quality of this album. It's a fun album but the lyrics have no substance and depth at all. Not worth listening.

    Title is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. If you want fun lyrics and catchy songs with simple meanings, this is for you. If you want something a little more, don't bother.

    Overall, Title is a great debut album and enjoyable for fans of catchy radio-catered music like me.

    Trainor recycles the themes from every forgettable Billboard alumnus from the past decade, with a bit more color here and there, but not enough to distinguish herself from the pack.

    While the lyrics might not be of much interest for everyone, The music and melody is catchy and really has a "Fun" vibe to it for most of the album. The only issue here is that a few tracks do not capture this vibe and suffer from it.

    Corny and samey pop music made even worse with some added ill thought and hypocritical messages. What a nightmare. Only saving grace is at least she can sing without autotune.

So either you'll love it all or hate every last bit of it.

    As for the critics, they're always going to want something deep and poetic. I say don't take her cutesy schtick too seriously and just enjoy this album for what it is: fun, feel good pop music.

    It is rare to find a CD where you don't have to skip a track. Every song on Title is pleasing to the ear, which is a feat in itself. Even the great albums, you skip a few tracks, so just for that accomplishment along, the album gets a 10 star review. I have an hour commute to work, I have listened to CD repeatedly. Most albums these days don't deserve to be listened to once.

    Meghan definitely hit it out of the park with 'Title'. She has fully established that she is no one-hit wonder and that she is a pop force to be reckoned with.

    A fresh album, different from anything else. I thought it was going to be full of "All About That Bass" and "Lips Are Movin"-oriented songs, but it has so much variety on it! A positive surprise.

A jovem de 20 anos, que ganhou conhecimento de sua gravadora Epic Records por compor muito bem e para artistas como a banda country Rascal Flatts, é quem assume a dianteira entre as composições de seu primeiro álbum oficial. O papel consegue se cumprir com facilidade, com o apelo comercial e chiclete do disco, faixas como ''Lips Are Movin'' e ''Dear Future Husband'' bateram com facilidade do top 10 dos maiores hits pop dos gráficos da Billboard. Meghan revive os anos 50 no disco, mas sem assimilar muito suas referências, acaba deixando tudo banalizado e pouca coisa realmente soa consistente no disco. ''All About That Bass'' que pode ser interpretada como uma música de autoajuda, de libertação, de quebra de esteriótipos e para você se aceitar e ser feliz como você realmente é, sem viver em meio a padrões estabelecidos pela sociedade, acaba tendo uma outra conotação, quando Trainor diz que sua mãe sempre dizia que os "meninos gostam de ter o que apertar à noite" Expand

    Unfortunately, the artwork for this album is as bright as it gets - the songs are very chilled out which is a disappointment considering the style Meghan developed from her lead singles. I feel like this album is for a different audience - it should have been marketed to older audiences as I feel it is quite mature compared to other pop albums. It wasn't for me though.

    The success of Lips Are Movin’ confirms that she’s no Eamon-style one-hit wonder; but Trainor might do well to study Duffy’s fate.

    Come for catchy hooks sung in an affected southern accent, not for insightful and, intimate songwriting.
