Of the "breakthrough #1 artists" this year, three have released songs that sound like their big hits (Meghan Trainor, Sam Smith, Iggy Azalea) and three have released songs that don't sound like their big hits (Charli XCX, MAGIC!, Nico and Vinz).
Care to guess which ones are pacing like bigger successes?
I loved Title and Dear Future Husband, but like most of you who also love them, I got on board when those were her only options. And they seemed fine for follow-ups.
This, however, is the perfect follow-up to All About That Bass. It's the exact sound, lyrical style and composition format we got on the last one - so it's clearly the right choice.
-- Despite my love for this one, I did, however, roll my eyes when Epic referred to this as "scorching and sexy" in a press release it just issued.

This has passed "Dear Future Husband" in my favorites by her, and it is growing on me, it's not bad at all! I just don't particularly like sequel singles most of the time. But I still love "Title" more.

This is going to be big! With her album coming in January, this launch reminds me of the old days where labels actually took time to a&r a project carefully and also develop an artist. The great thing about already having a huge single and then waiting to release an album is that you can promote on shows instead of just doing the big promo the week of which so many labels seem to be doing nowadays. I'm so happy for her!

She's such an interesting performer. I just wish that she had a better stylist. I get that she has to wear frumpy clothing to sell the fact that she's "All About That Bass" even though she really isn't overweight at all, but that hair and lipstick ages her about 20 years. You'd never know that she's YOUNGER than Ariana Grande based on how she looks there.

My mom said that she had no idea she looked like this. She said that she was confused because Meghan wasn't overweight, yet she was singing this. And she also was surprised that Meghan was white.

The performance was fine, the lighting was awful though.

I didn't like the sound equipment used. The background music was drowned out, and it kind of reminded me of a YouTube cover video's audio.
Anyways, she's a great performer, and her vocals are good! I'm a fan! :)

It's really amazing how in a very little spam of time she got from one hit wonder girl to singer of the moment (with Taylor's permission). And she is really handling the situation very well

What i was trying to say (english is not my language so sometimes some expressions are not acurately translated) is that Meghan is the female singer of the moment apart of Taylor (who is everywhere right now)
