Album Reviews: Meghan Trainor and Lisa Loeb

 

 Treat Myself: This is Meghan Trainor's fourth album since she premeired back in 2011. I don't know much about Trainor, I only knew her 2014 hit "All About That Bass." It isn't a bad album but it isn't a good album. It's the kind of pop album where you can find a few songs to like and put on a playlist but there isn't any song on here that is going to get you through the year or stick with you. And it feels like just a collection of songs not a conceptual album of any sort. It's a bit long but all the songs are fairly consistent and so you can put it on in the background and you'll find yourself enjoying it OK.



 

A Simple Trick to Happiness:  Lisa Loeb is my age so I have to root for her.  Truth is though I know about as much about Lisa Loeb as I do about Meghan Trainor, even though Loeb's first album came out 25 years ago.  This is her 10th album, her first in 7 years.  It pretty much sounds like her music did 25 years ago, so if you were a big Lisa Loeb fan back in 1995 this album will probably work for you.  As it is I found it to be OK.

  1. I liked this Meghan Trainor song fine, and my favorite of hers is "Better When I'm Dancing" from the fantastic 2015 Peanuts Movie.
