Grammy winning “Best New Artist” Meghan Trainor showcased a new take on her voice revealing the success of her vocal surgery. That success was clearly evident when she brought her “Untouchable Tour” to Chicago last summer at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre, in which she utilized the talents of Baz Halpin (Katy Perry & Pink).
Billboard itself took note of the joyful audience:
“The singer has a personal intimacy and connection with fans perhaps unrivaled in pop music. Tweenage girls were ecstatically dancing in the aisle with lit-up princess crowns atop their heads; their moms and dads are bobbing along with zero hesitation; thousands of glow sticks are tomahawking in rhythm in the rafters; a college-age boy in a wheelchair is crying tears of joy; and a 60-something-year-old man up front is thrusting his hands in a love sign like a Young Life counselor, high on life. He then plays his glow stick like a saxophone during the horn blasts onstage.”
At the tender age of 22, Trainor, has taken the music world by storm starting with her hip swaying hit, “All About That Base.” Hailing from Nantucket, Massachusetts, Trainor takes that sentiment to her fan base. She and her fan club “The Megatrons”. honor all things and problems that are brought about by simply being young. For example, she sang a song to her mother (which Billboard quoted) during a recent concert:
Before Trainor signed her first record deal with Epic Records, she had already written, sung and produced three albums on her own. Her debut album “Title” (2015), was at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling more than one million copies in the United States, with three top 10 singles:
“All About That Bass”, “Lips Are Movin” and “Like I’m Gonna Lose You”.
Her second major release “Thank You” was released in 2016, preceded by its lead single “No” which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It is not hype to say that this young woman seems to be at the head of the next generation of pop stars.
