Besides Christina, I've never seen so many words for somebody that a lot of people on this board despise. Extremely troubling. I mean if you dislike an artist or their music then why troll in their thread? Like are we in jr. high?

Besides Christina, I've never seen so many words for somebody that a lot of people on this board despise. Noooo don't play this Sarah Huckabee Sanders twisted logic game. I mean, first of all, this limp argument is always trotted out when an artist is getting heat on this board, which has happened to everyone, multiple times, because it's a discussion board and that's literally what we're here to do (and, ofc, we always do the most). Secondly, thinking she doesn't have much shot at a career, or that her album being shelved/delayed is a really bad sign, is just not the same thing as hating or despising an artist. Nearly everyone who's pointed out that things aren't looking great for her career have included positive things about her (she has a knack for hooks, she's a good songwriter, she has a good voice, she seems nice, etc.). It's like, we know on the surface that very few people make it in this industry, and even fewer have long-lasting careers, but we still can't accept it on a case-by-case basis because feelings. Which is fine, and pretty universal, but this isn't "extremely troubling"--it's the status quo, it's something we've all participated in, and it just isn't that big of a deal. Which is all to say it isn't really Meghan Trainor keeping me and others in this thread--it's the arguments and criticisms from fans that people are responding to. Like we tend to do on a forum.

She had her awful songs, and I can't say there's a song I liked by her but she had some sort of potential and some merits in writing, mainly on the compositional level.

Why are they not at least turning this into a “Treat Myself” EP? This should be easy to do and wouldn’t look as bad. She could have one more song fans have not heard yet released with the EP on the 31st. She’d have something to promote. Fans wouldn’t be upset. That’s what they should have done instead of postponing indefinitely.

I know y'all don't care for her, but I appreciate her contribution to pop music. It's refreshing to have this sweet, light weight music that's not uber sexual (albeit a bit cheesy). Especially from a woman. Plus, her albums always have a handful of legit bops.

Oh wow! That's a really long postponement. So I guess that means the songs released so far will still be on the album?

She did say she wanted to release it once all the songs were out of her head and recorded (or something along those lines), so I think she's just wanting to add to it.

I got a push notification from Google that the album was released and Spotify had a page set up to direct you to it as well. What a mess

So...I assume they plan on launching a new single before this comes out, but they're running out of time on the calendar to get something to hit before Christmas music takes over the adult channels.

If they plan on releasing another single before the album release (which they should), they’re going to need to start doing it soon. Hopefully since they know that the other songs didn’t stick they will go with something that wasn’t originally on the album. I assume that they consider the songs released so far the best on the album so if they didn’t work, it’s likely nothing else will. I would love to see her collab with Max Martin. Aim to release it for mid to late October so they can get it out before the Christmas rush that will start in November. This pushback could be a blessing in disguise

I wonder if she has the pull to book an AMA spot. That would be a great time to roll out a new single. It will also help if the Sigala song she's featured on turns into a hit.

Based on what she said when delaying the album - I'm sure she's got new stuff recorded, including a new radio single or two. I agree something needs to be released soon. This delay could lead to a stunning new direction that really works - I just don't know what they're going to do if it doesn't? Cancel the album? Release it anyway? So much is riding on this next single, you know? It feels so do-or-die.
