| Last album = ''Title'' (EP) (2014) | This album = ''Title'' (2015) | Misc = }} ''Title'' is the major-label debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. Released on January 9, 2015, by Epic Records, the album replaced Trainor's 2014 EP of the same name on the iTunes Store. It was mainly written and composed by Trainor and Kevin Kadish, and produced by Kadish. Other collaborators on the album include Chris Gelbuda and Jesse Frasure, John Legend and Shy Carter. Musically, ''Title'' was inspired by Trainor's love for throwback style records, and the 1950s and 1960s eras in music. She incorporated different combinations of genres, including Caribbean, doo-wop, hip hop, soca and pop. The album debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 with 238,000 units sold. It also peaked at number one in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. ''Title'' was Epic Records' first number one album since Sara Bareilles' ''Kaleidoscope Heart'' (2010). It became Epic's first number one album since Michael Jackson's ''The Essential Michael Jackson'' (2005) to enter at the top of the Australian chart. The album was preceded by two commercially successful singles. "All About That Bass", released as the album's lead single on June 30, 2014, topped the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for eight weeks and the UK Singles Chart for four. The song peaked at number one in 58 countries and entered the list of best-selling singles. The second single "Lips Are Movin", released on October 21, 2014, was Trainor's second consecutive top five hit with a peak of number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The album's third single, "Dear Future Husband", peaked at number 14 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The fourth single "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", which featured John Legend, was released on June 23, 2015, and peaked at number 8 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Trainor promoted ''Title'' through a series of public appearances and televised live performances, as well as on the Jingle Ball Tour 2014. Trainor embarked on the album's first supporting concert tour, That Bass Tour, in February 2015. The album received generally positive reviews. == Production == Trainor initially released three albums: ''Meghan Trainor'' (2008), ''I'll Sing with You'' (2011) and ''Only 17'' (2011). However, all three albums were pulled from circulation in the build-up to ''Title''.〔 In July 2014, Trainor said that she planned to complete the album by early fall. By mid-August, the record was initially completed, but Trainor told ''USA Today'' that a song which was written in eight minutes was to be recorded for the album the same day.〔 On August 30, Trainor told Jim Sullivan of the ''Cape Cod Times'' that ''Title'' would be released in November or December 2014. However, in an interview with ''Billboard'' on September 21, Trainor stated that the album was "pretty much done" and that she had one more song left to complete. She also quipped, "I'm saving huge singles for ()." In October 2014, after Trainor took a two-month break, when she has developing polyps on her vocal cords, Kadish made use of demo vocal takes Trainor had recorded as guides. Following her vocal rest, Trainor was initially discouraged. She told USA Today, "Kevin would calm me down, we'd dim the lights, so I wouldn't get frustrated." Some of the album was recorded with Trainor lying on her back, on a bed Kadish made her in studio.〔 In an interview with Stacy Lambe of ''Out'', Trainor said, "First album, you show them what you can do and then the second album, you can do whatever you want. And that's what I'm gonna do." The album was made up of 14 tracks, 10 of which were co-written and produced by Kadish. Trainor announced on October 14 that ''Title'' contained a country song made up entirely of her ukulele melody, and that she was searching for a country artist to feature on the track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Title (Meghan Trainor album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
