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. 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.
