Trainor is taking off her training wheels with new funky pop single
Nostalgia-loving pop star Meghan Trainor has been updating her sound lately, for the better, and “No Excuses” is a fine example of it going in the right direction. It struts with bluesy guitar and heartbeat bass, flexing the most on its rhythmic chorus. In those quirky moments, her brand of pop-funk fills the room like a sturdy post-disco enforcer. She still loves the R&B throwback, and still plays to the two-minute format of ‘60’s radio, but her cutesy sassy innocence shines through, speaking volumes to baby millennials: “You must have confused me/There ain’t no excuses, your mama raised you better than that.”
