Before achieving fame, Meghan Trainor wrote and produced three independently released albums.ย
MEGHAN TRAINOR: THANK YOU
After her Best New Artist win at the 2016 Grammy Awards, Meghan Trainor will release Thank You. By the sounds of the first single, โNo,โ this album will feature more hip-hop than her 2015 debut, Title, which was chock-full of swing and doo-wop-inspired hits. Since that release, she has also fully embraced feminism. She boasts Thank You is filled with empowering anthems.
Available Friday on iTunes, Spotify and Amazonย
