Listen To Pink : The Truth About Love



Who Is P!nk?
Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979), known by her stage name Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress. In 2000, she released her first single "There You Go", from her debut album Can't Take Me Home. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2001 she released her second studio album Missundaztood, which was critically acclaimed, and her most commercially successful album to date. The album produced the hit singles "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me", "Just Like a Pill" and "Family Portrait". In November 2003, Pink released her third studio album Try This, which produced the hit singles "Trouble", "God is a DJ" and "Last to Know". Although the album was less commercially successful than Missundaztood, it earned Pink her first Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

In April 2006, Pink released her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead. The album produced several hit singles including "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew", and "U + Ur Hand", and marked her comeback after the poorer-than-expected commercial performance of her previous record. Pink followed up I'm Not Dead with her 2008-released album Funhouse, largely inspired by her separation from Carey Hart. The lead single, "So What", became Pink's first solo single to ever reach the top spot on Billboard Hot 100. The album produced three other Top 20 singles: "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me", and "Glitter in the Air".

On November 15, 2010 Pink released her first compilation album, Greatest Hits... So Far!!!. The album featured Pink's biggest career hits as well as three original songs. "Raise Your Glass" and "Fuckin' Perfect" were released as singles, with the latter reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and the former becoming Pink's second solo single to reach the top spot on the list. After taking a short hiatus to give birth to her daughter Willow, Pink released her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love. The album was released on September 18, 2012 and for the first time in Pink's career, debuted atop the Billboard 200, selling more than 280,000 copies in its first week. The lead single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

Pink has sold over 110 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists in history. Her career accolades include three Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards, in addition to having 18 Top 20 Hits on the Billboard charts. In 2009 Billboard magazine named Pink the number one pop musician of the decade, and in 2012 VH1 named Pink number 10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music. (Read More)

The Truth About Love Review?
Pink may be the best lyricist in pop music. And that's not just because she's willing to be as tough on herself as she is on the clueless authority figures, one-night stands, and wrongheaded husbands who inhabit her songs. Instead of playacting the expected pop archetypes  brat, vixen, victim  she presents herself as, well, herself: a knockabout girl who has done some living, not a precocious cipher playing a well-rehearsed role.

The storytelling on The Truth About Love, Pink's sixth album and first full-length since 2008's Funhouse, is unfalteringly vibrant, loaded with righteous anger, irreverence, and a clear eye for the darker side. Whether she's skewering tipsy-tart tropes on the punchy ''Walk of Shame'' and ''Slut Like You'' or laying bare her well-documented up-and-down relationship with husband Carey Hart on ''True Love'' (''At the same time I wanna hug you/I wanna wrap my hands around your neck''), her experiences never feel less than utterly real.

Of course, all that bloodletting wouldn't resonate nearly as much without radio-gripping hooks. And Pink brings them, even as she freely lets her skate-punk plasma bleed through the pop chiffon on guitar-filled crunchfests like ''Are We All We Are'' and ''How Come You're Not Here'' or initiates a club-pumping throwdown with Eminem (''Here Comes the Weekend''). Truth may switch up its stylistic forms, but Pink's uniquely torqued confessionals permeate every song; it's honesty you can dance to.

  2. Ashley,

    I don't think that there is anything that Pink could do that is wrong. She is an exceptional artist.
