It’s honestly impressive how her musical style hasn’t changed at all. Her new songs sound exactly like her old ones, same instruments, similar melodies, same structure and everything. It takes skill to make the same exact song like 20 times in a row. She seems to be having fun, though. A lot of artists seem to lack passion for their music over the years. At least she’s having a good time.

[@leekenny1627]

Meghan Trainor released multiple albums where she explored different sounds. Nobody listened to them, so her manager suggested going back to her roots and releasing doo-wop sounds (which she enjoys making). I do agree she seems to be having a lot of fun and not stressing so much about charting. Just making music that she thinks is fun to produce.

[@leekenny1627]

@Alejandro She released Treat Myself, Christmas EP and The Love Train. She also sang as a feature for other artists. That's a lot of songs released (in a few years) considering she got married & became a mother too.

[@leekenny1627]

@Alejandro Agree to disagree then. I can very easily distinguish the different sounds between her first 3 official albums, with Thank You & Treat Myself being mostly a different genre to Title & Takin' It Back - Pop sounds vs Doo-wop. I was also surprised to listen to Meghan sing some Reggae and Mambo in her latest album too lol

It seems like she's not very passionate about music. She just likes singing and the attention/money it can bring. Nothing wrong about that tho. Just teaches the masses you can make money being mid.

That Bass got big right as I finished military basic training. It was a nightmare. After going months without any music aside reveille, the anthem, taps, cadence and whatever someone feels like belting in the shower, folks tend to embrace the absolute hell out of the first bit of music they hear. Too many folks were bopping around playing and reciting That Bass in Tech School. It was awful. Fortunately there was a cool remix of Tove Lo’s High All The Time that was being played on repeat by someone in the dorms a lot around that time as well.

[@CompanionCorbs]

Also, Taking It Back had cute music to it, but I’d prefer completely different lyrics and it coming from Ariana Grande or someone cute/not Trainor.

[@GreenAndGoth]

Bless the person who played Tove Lo.

I appreciate you calling yourself out more. I really like your videos and the insight you give for why you like & don’t like specific songs, but sometimes I can struggle to watch and support you because the content you create starts to come across as bullying. I’ve warmed up to your personality now, but sometimes you still blur the lines between funny valid criticism and bullying. I think checking yourself after making fun of that tik tok guy was dope and makes me want to continue watching your videos.

"back when the bassline wasn't basic" madam. there was ONE chord progression throughout the entire doo-wop period. it was literally called the doo-wop progression. everybody had to share one single bassline.

It's really gross to judge her body and behind like that Brad, it has nothing to do with the music. Saying this kindly and respectfully. Like the tiktok it's not something that's part of being a music critic

[@teethcoat4274]

I think there is a degree of relevance to be honest. It was definitely a tangent, and I think Brad probably shouldn’t have gone on it (though I mean as someone with adhd too I understand), but she’s built her biggest body positivity song on her supposed big ass, arguably that being a lie is the same as models and tabloids pushing unrealistic beauty standards, exactly what she was pushing against with “All about that bass”

[@ringer1324]

When you make your whole image About body positivity and your biggest hit is about your curves it kinda does have something to do with the music. Not saying what brad did was good just that it isn’t entirely irrelevant in her case

[@sugarlessgirl96]

Wrote this on another comment but I think it bears repeating so I'll say it here too. It was kind of a disappointing moment watching this as a woman. It seems to bear out that all woman-attracted content creators inevitably, no matter how nice they otherwise are, will reduce some woman/en to her parts on a video at some point, especially by pointing out what she's lacking, with the implication that she's worth less bc of it (intentional or not, that's the effect). It's tiring tbh. The way it i see it though, If I drop everyone that does it then I end up with less to watch overall. Idk. That did feel like a tooth being pulled.

[@teethcoat4274]

@@sugarlessgirl96 That's certainly a real and serious issue, that female artists who do not put forward a sexual image are discussed in a sexual manner regardless, either positively or negatively, but as I said in my other reply I don't think that's the case here. Meghan Trainor herself has introduced the topic of her body shape, and in the words of NakeyJakey, "If you wanna talk about the gator under the bed, I'm gonna talk about the gator under the bed". That is to say, it's not entirely unfair for Brad to comment on it, as Meghan herself has made it a talking point (though it would still have been better if he hadn't brought it up).

[@sugarlessgirl96]

@@teethcoat4274 I wasn't super clear I suppose, but my gripe here specifically is more of a "setting an example" thing. It's pretty clear that chat and the community are a reflection of a content creator and their decisions/engagements/values etc. Brad is doing really well in addressing these topics like the whole racism thing so I'm hopeful this can be another avenue for growth? Every time this behaviour happens it reminds me that, as a woman, I'm less welcome in a community bc expressing discomfort with sexism in particular will often result in being shunted aside/told i'm overreacting anyway (not singling you out here, i mean generally). Then i'm faced with either having to quietly sit though scenes like this that make me grit my teeth, or dropping yet another creator bc wading through a sea of sexism and objectification then becomes a choice that i can make. But can't we politely ask for good change, or at least some reflection? You can understand that it would have been better for him to not have said it at all - I'll extend an olive branch. I think there was a line crossed with the video being shown on the phone and the slow motion part. Like "look at how flat she is haha" as a spectacle. As a joke? Idk. If it had been more of a throwaway little snipe it wouldn't have felt so teeth-pulling. But tbh I'd prefer what you said, not even that. Imagine he did this but with harry styles' bottom or smth? Idk I can't think of a super sexualised male artist (in the way women are) nor can i imagine a content creator dissecting a man to his sexual parts like that...bc it's a line they just don't cross for some reason.

[@jude8072]

I feel like everytime a modern pop artist tries to make a song sound old fasioned, they just make it sound like something you'd hear while shopping in Jcpennys. I think before trying to make a song sound old, you should try studying what old musicians did to get that old music style and you should listen to a whole bunch of old music, and you can really tell they didn't do that.

8:35 Ah yes jazz the most traditionally wytе thing to ever come off the States p.s.: btw albeit I'm still very poorly rap-cultured I've been listening to some records lately and developing quite a liking for it and the approach to songwriting and all, it's not cheap music and I doubt all of these rock / metalheads who keep saying so could put a decent track together

[@filipedias7284]

Also I don't think rightful concerns about racism and analogous things are a problem (I think it's but civilized to have them) but when you do start saying things like "you're just disagreeing cause you're a гасіst whіtе" then maybe whatever the original idea was in your head got lost somewhere in the way

I agree. Lizzo’s music actually has meaning behind it, not just rinse and repeat topics like “I’m a bada** and i’m gonna flex on my listeners about how much money I have” or “Yea I love myself and my curves, and i’m gonna tell the world about it!” Lizzo actually sings about her personal experiences while hyping herself and her listeners up. Not to mention the beats of her songs are actually good and always seem to fit in with the current trends.
