I liked Meghan Trainor’s first CD, Title. My review of it is here. I liked Meghan Trainor’s doo-wop sound in songs like “My Selfish Heart.” This newly released CD, Thank You, is a hodgepodge of songs and styles. There’s some rap, some ballads, some pop songs. Diane listened to a few songs and remarked, “These songs all sound the same.” I did enjoy “NO,” “Kindly Calm Me Down,” “Friends,” and “Champagne Problems.” The best songs on this CD are the BONUS TRACKS: “Goosebumps” and “Throwback Love” which wouldn’t sound out of place on a transistor radio in the 1950s! But you can only get those tracks on the TARGET version of the CD. Let’s just says Meghan Trainor is having a slight “sophomore slump.” I’m sure her next CD will be much better. Check out Meghan singing “NO” in TARGET below. GRADE: B-
