P!nkI'm Not Dead
$31.00Call to Order
Far riskier and stranger than anything else in mainstream pop in 2006. A mish-mash of FM rock, folky ballads, and funky dance tracks that spans Neil Young to Joan Jett to Janis Joplin. 'Who Knew' is a pop anthem disguised as a eulogy for friends lost to overdose. Devastating when you know the context. 'U + Ur Hand' is bratty and defiant. 'Dear Mr. President' with the Indigo Girls is an open letter to George W. Bush in rhetorical questions about war and homelessness. After Try This underperformed, P!nk parted with Arista, gained full creative control, and came back swinging. Double pink vinyl.
