CD/Music Review: Pink - The Truth About Love

 


Pink rose to fame about the same time as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but she was always very different from either of them (or any of the other young female pop stars of the time) and always set herself apart from them. Even early on, Pink's version of pop was much different from others and it has expanded and evolved as she has gotten older. She still does some of the hip-hop-infused or at least inspired stuff that she did early on, but expands into very personal ballads and songs that are definitely based on her relationships. 

This album has a little bit of everything in terms of sound, ranging from "Try", which is closer to a ballad, to more upbeat numbers like "Here Comes the Weekend." In my opinion, the three best tracks on the album are Blow Me (One Last Kiss), Try, and Just Give Me a Reason, which are the second, third, and fourth tracks on the album respectively. Even though those are my favorite songs on the album there is really not a bad track among the bunch. Like most of her albums, this is not something that you would want young kids listening to because she does swear and sing about sex, unashamedly. So, if you are a fan of Pink, this one is definitely worth listening to.
