The Love Train
- ... that Meghan Trainor's 2019 EP The Love Train was promoted through a press release, which drew controversy because of its "graphic nature and bizarre phrasing"? Source: NME
- ALT1:... that Meghan Trainor's 2019 EP The Love Train was described as a teaser for her upcoming album Treat Myself? Source: Billboard

- The stuff about the press release is interesting (much more so than the stuff about her upcoming album), but poorly phrased. I'll think about it. DS (talk) 23:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- How about, ALT2: ... that when Stephen Thomas Erlewine reviewed Meghan Trainor's EP The Love Train, he also reviewed the press release that promoted it? DS (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- I agree that the original hook I suggested is more interesting than ALT1. I’m just not sure if the fact that Erlewine reviewed the press release is interesting in itself, as ALT2 completely neglects describing what made the press release noteworthy.—NØ 00:53, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, it doesn't say why the press release was noteworthy... but that's what piques the reader's curiosity. Don't answer your own question. It was promoted with a press release - who cares? Lots of things are promoted with press releases. This particular press release got reviewed along with the item it promoted - what? That's weird, why did it get reviewed? *clicks link in order to find out* DS (talk) 13:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:54, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
The article was promoted to Good Article status in time and it is reliably sourced with no copyright violations. I prefer the first hook. It was promoted with a press release like other things, but they normally don't cause such controversy. The hook is directly cited. SL93 (talk) 03:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
