Even though she doesn’t call him out by name, Pink makes it impossible to listen to her sixth album The Truth About Love (out today, September 18) without taking her year-long separation from husband Carey Hart into consideration. In the title track, she unfurls each syllable slowly as if drawn from a coy smile. Cuter-sounding backup singers chime in at the chorus. As background music, it sounds like a perfect beach jam — a “Twist And Shout” redux. Turns out, though, that the sweeter Pink sounds, the more cynical she becomes. “The truth about love is, it’s all a lie / I thought you were the one and I hate goodbyes,” she sings at the chorus’ end. Pink once confessed, “L.A. told me, ‘You’ll be a pop star / All you’ll have to change is everything you are.’” She was referring to the L.A. Reid-approved, slick R&B treatment of her 2000 debut Can’t Take Me Home, which seems tailor-made for Destiny’s Child in hindsight. And so the spirit behind its follow-up, M!ssundaztood, still inhabits her being. Pink has since reached for dreads and nose rings, vaudevillian corsets and circus metaphors, while also calling herself a pill and searching for normalcy. At first, especially because of broken-home ballad “Family Portrait,” the singer seemed as if she was singing the songs she’d always wanted as an angst-ridden teenager. But as her career’s progressed, Pink has evolved into, simply, pop’s biggest misfit.Read full review
