The Truth About Love

I know I usually share 1 song on Music Fridays, but today I feel the need to share an album. I’m not a huge P!nk fan. Yes, she has a couple good songs, but for me, she was always just a little too punk for my liking. Her new album The Truth About Love dropped this week and I decided to listen to it. The PinkVevo youtube account uploaded lyric videos for the entire album and I spent a day just listening to it. I built myself a playlist and listened to every single one of them like I was listening to the CD. Despite my initial thoughts about P!nk, I keep going back to these songs.

Obviously P!nk has grown up a lot since she first started in the music industry. Her fans have grown with her. Her fan base does not consist of 13 and 14 year-old girls, but women. Because of this the song material is more grown up. She has songs about how relationships aren’t always hearts and flowers. There’s a song about losing a child. She has party songs like “Walk of Shame” which I incidentally I had to explain to someone. (Aww…the education continues.) Basically these songs are meant for an older audience, and frankly it’s refreshing.

There are a lot of songs on this album that I really like, but two of my favorites have to be “Try” and “Are We All We Are.” I want someone to make a Nike ad using that last one. I recommend checking out this album, even if it’s just on youtube. Please note though that because the target audience is older, there is a bit of mature language in some of the songs. Listen at your own risk.

Enjoy the music and your weekend.

"Try"
