Meghan Trainor’s ‘Nø’ Producer: New Album is a ‘Bold Step Forward’
Meghan Trainor has very effectively updated her sound with “Nø,” the lead single from her upcoming sophomore album, Thank You. Ricky Reed, who helmed “Nø” and executive-produced Trainor’s follow-up to Title, tells Fuse that the new single (released last Friday) hints at a big step forward for the “All About That Bass” star.
“It’s different for her, which will be the most obvious thing when you hear it,” Reed says of “Nø.” “It’s a very natural step for her. Meghan is a fan of funk music and gospel, so we really wanted to make an album that didn’t abandon her sound of Title but took a bold step forward, not just musically but in the messaging of the song. It’s a strong, woman-forward album.”
