Her latest disc is all over the musical map, which will likely appeal to her fans as it gives the album a certain variety. With the recent worldwide hit “So What,” Pink is likely to find great success in the near future. Over catchy hand claps, the singer lists off her favorite drinks and exclaims: “Lordy, lordy, lordy! / I can’t help it I like to party, it’s genetic! / It’s electrifying, wind me up and watch me go.” Another close hit is “Bad Influence,” a bass-heavy pop song with the greatest single potential of the album’s remaining tracks. Sadly, the song drifts into awkward rock-band-esque choruses for prolonged periods. Quick-programmed keys open the track, highlighting Pink’s luminous vocals, creating an eerie effect. “It’s All Your Fault” is somewhat more successful. It only stands out because it simply doesn’t fit with the rest of the album’s collection. It deals with - what else - the constant fighting that leads to a breakup. The quasi-ballad “Mean” has a marked country vibe that sounds more like Sheryl Crow than an actual Pink cut.
The rest of the album is a collection of would-be singles that couldn’t quite make the mark (“Funhouse,” for example), strained rock ballads bemoaning her recent breakup (“Please Don’t Leave Me”) and a variety of other subpar cuts. It stands above most of the album’s subsequent selections, but can’t rescue the entire disc. The pop-rock song is a lot more subdued than the caffeinated “So What,” with Pink’s exceptional voice carrying the majority of it. Keeping in tune with the song’s theme, Pink belts “How do I feel this good sober?” in a haunting key. The most recent single - aptly titled “Sober” - details Pink’s battles with addiction. Like so many other tracks on the breakup-influenced album, it laments the artist’s recent divorce from husband Carey Hart, opening with the line “I guess I just lost my husband / I don’t know where he went.” It’s jumpy and exciting, with all the key ingredients of a radio hit, and sharply contrasts the rest of the album’s more low-key cuts. The disc’s first single, the Martin Max produced “So What,” is Pink’s only number one solo hit. The album veers from classic chart-friendly smashes to country-influenced ballads of woe to her former dance-rock endeavors. On her most recent album, Funhouse, Pink admirably tries to formulate a distinct sound, but the disjointed result ultimately falls short.įunhouse reverts Pink to her prior methods with wide-ranging musical experimentation. The artist has since experimented with a wild assortment of sounds, ranging from her initial R&B-style hits to mild flirtations with harder rock-based hooks on her subsequent records, before finally settling into her role as a pop starlet.
#PINK FUNHOUSE ALBUM YOUUBE FULL#
Bad Influence is a fun tale of over-indulging on tequila, while Funhouse takes a So What-style approach to her lost love, singing of the couple's former marital home, 'this used to be a funhouse but now it's full of evil clowns, I'm gonna burn it down'.įunhouse is a strikingly honest album which, while lacking the immediacy of its predecessor, is destined to go down as one of her finest releases to date.Pop tart Pink has made a name for herself as the so-called “alternative” to the manufactured Christinas and Britneys of top-40 pop’s glory days. Also poignant is Please Don't Leave Me, which sees her summarise their fiery relationship by singing, 'You're my perfect little punching bag and I need you'. While chart-topping lead single, So What shrugged off the break up with its feisty attitude, the album shows her more vulnerable side, with tracks like I Don't Believe You perhaps more accurately capturing her heartbreak. Never one to shy away from bearing her soul, whether it was criticising the Bush administration on Dear Mr President from 2006's I'm Not Dead or discussing her troubled childhood on Family Portrait from her 2002 effort, M!ssundaztood, it was inevitable that her marriage break-up would end up providing the inspiration for her fifth studio set, Funhouse. The music scene would be a dull place without Pink.
