P!NK / Pink

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Funhouse Colored Vinyl - New - 88985497941 Sealed 2018 2LP Limited Edition Pressed On Yellow Vinyl. "Richard Thompson Compared His Bumpy Marriage To Linda Thompson To A Roller Coaster Named "The Wall Of Death" And Pink Picks Up This Carnivalesque Thread, Calling Her Troubled Relationship With Motocross Star Carey Hart A Funhouse On Her Own Entry Into A Long Prestigious Line Of Autobiographical Divorce Albums That Stretches Back To Blood On The Tracks. Naturally, Funhouse Doesn't Have Any Musical Similarities With Either Blood Or Shoot Out The Lights, But Pink's Divorce Album Is Also Emotionally Different Than Either Of These Classics Or Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear. Dylan, Thompson, And Gaye Layer Their Albums With Self-recriminations And Ruminations, Niceties That Pink Shrugs Off In One Song, The Brooding "I Don't Believe You." Other Songs Allude To The Pain Of The Separation But Never In A Way That Digs Deep -- The Musically Fine Blues-rocker "Mean" Trots Out Clichés, The Delicate Spooky Stevie Nicks Folk Of "Crystal Ball" Skirts The Divorce, And Far From Being A Primal Scream, "Please Don't Leave Me" Surges On A Max Martin Hook That Pushes Away The Pain. But As Pink Makes Clear With The Album-opening Single "So What" -- Also Co-written With Martin -- She's More Than Ready To Get Out Of This Relationship, Thrilled That She's Still A Rock Star, Still Drinking In The Afternoon. That Her Enthusiastic Hedonism Kind Of Contradicts The Letter Of Her Britney-baiting "Stupid Girls" Doesn't Mean That It Violates The Spirit, As This Is Still The Same Pink, The One Who Spits Out Jokes As She Rumbles. This Snotty Stance Is Second Nature To Her, So Maybe That's Why Funhouse Only Really Clicks When Pink Abandons Any Pretense Of Mourning Her Relationship And Just Cuts Loose With Galumphing Rhythms And Schoolyard Taunts, The Kind That Fuel Both "So What" And "Bad Influence" And Make Them Instantly Indelible. This Kind Of Oversized, Obnoxious Pop Is Where Pink's Heart Is At -- She's Ready To Party And As Long As The Tempo Is High, Funhouse Is A Ride, Empowered By Her Post-divorce Freedom. In A Way, That Does Make Funhouse Unique Among Divorce Albums, As It's The First To Concentrate On Liberation Rather Than Loss -- But If She Was Going To Go In This Direction, Pink May Have Been Better Off Not Pretending That She's Bothered By The Breakup."

	Trustfall Colored Vinyl - New - 19658-77265-1 Sealed 2023 US Special Edition "Hot Pink" Vinyl Pressing Housed In A Gatefold With Custom Colour Indicator Hype Sticker. "Bouncing Back After The Relative Stumbles Of Her Late-2010s Efforts, P!nk Recaptures Her Spirit And Voice On The Cathartic Trustfall. Her Ninth Studio Effort Overall, The Set Is A Motivational Therapy Session That Hinges On Themes Of Change, Self-acceptance, Loss, And Love, Reminding Listeners (And Herself) That Everything Will Be Ok If There's Faith In The Face Of Fear And The Unknown. Buoyed By This Spiritually Liberated Energy, P!nk Pushes Her Vocals To Higher Highs With Shiver-inducing Results, Backed By Some Of The Most Thoughtful Messages In Her Catalog. As With Past Releases, She Blends Sentimental Moments Of Introspection With Grand Pop Highs, Tugging The Heartstrings One Minute And Inspiring Physical Release The Next. Dancing And Singing Through Tough Times, P!nk Delivers The Album's Gospel Message On The Pulsing Title Track, A Synth-washed, Robyn-esque Pop Sparkler Where She Implores, "Picture A Place Where It All Doesn't Hurt/where Everything's Safe And It Doesn't Get Worse." The Equally Uplifting Max Martin/shellback Entry "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" Is One Of Those Euphoric Singalong Crowd-pleasers That Is Custom-built For An Eternity At School Dances And Weddings, While The Fast-paced, '80s Synth Blast "Runaway" Pushes The Urgency To The Fore And The Rollicking "Hate Me" Jolts The Album To Life With A Punk-rocking Gang Chorus, Sinister Riffs, And Abrasive Percussion. These More Immediate Earworms Are Scattered Throughout To Appease Anyone Looking For A Radio-ready Hit, But They Cede The Bulk Of The Album To More Reflective Fare That Provides A Different Kind Of Spiritual Nourishment. On The Wistful "When I Get There," She Mourns Her Late Father With Tender Vulnerability Atop Contemplative Piano And String Backing, While The Pensive "Lost Cause" Boosts The Same Piano/strings Approach With Dramatic Choral Harmonies. The Lumineers, First Aid Kit, And Chris Stapleton Make Appearances Across A Trio Of Folk- And Country-tinged Tracks, But The Spotlight Shines Brightest Whenever P!nk Is At The Fore. Additional Midtempo Standouts Include The Stunning "Last Call," Which Laughs The Pain Away Atop Bittersweet Twang And A Swelling Chorus, And The Stirring Piano Ballad "Our Song," Which Packs A Powerful Gut-punch With A Show-stopping Vocal Performance Destined To Bring The House Down. In The End, Trustfall Leans Firmly On These Powerful Moments Of Personal Growth, Sidestepping P!nk's Sometimes Headstrong Brattiness In Favor Of A Confident Defiance That Speaks To Triumph And Maturity In A Way That She Hasn't Done Before."
