- Title: Funhouse
Pink‘s fifth album, her first in two years since the release of I’m Not Dead, includes “One Foot Wrong,” “Funhouse,” and the techno dance track “Bad Influence.” Strangely enough most of the album showcases the lighter softer side of Pink in “Please Don’t Leave Me,” “I Don’t Believe You,” “Mean,” “Glitter In The Air,” and “Crystal Ball.” I understand Pink’s need to evolve as an artist and soften some with age, but when the majority of your album belongs in the Easy Listening section you may have taken it a step too far. The old kick ass smirking Pink surfaces only briefly in “It’s All Your Fault,” “Sober,” and finally is released to full effect in “So What” (the album’s first released single which, sadly, isn’t that similar to the rest of the collection, check out the video below). How will fans react to this softer side of the once wild child of pop?
Would someone please give Pink her balls back? There’s nothing really wrong with the quality here, it just feels more like a Jewel album than I expected. Where’s the girl who ranted about pop culture and got the party started? She makes an appearance or two on this album but seems sedated for the rest.
