Pink Beautiful Trauma Explicit Lyrics

For an artist who has achieved massive commercial success throughout her musical career, P!nk's speech upon being given the Video Vanguard Award was the highlight of this year's MTV VMAs, by most reasonable standards. After giving such a galvanizing speech about non-traditional gender appearances, she would be least expected to talk about Barbie dolls. The immediate presumption might be that a P!nk track entitled "Barbies" would tackle the facade of beauty in our world. But P!nk makes an emotional plea, by admitting to wishing to return to the innocence of youth, playing with dolls in her room. Similarly, on the cinematic "Wild hearts can't be broken", amidst strings and a piano, underneath the fragility there lies feistiness, with P!nk claiming that "there's not enough rope to tie me down" (she is most likely to use a rope for her soaring aerial acrobatics!). Melancholic, superb first single "What about us", indicated that this album would be a sentimental one. It is a heartbreak album more than anything, including as well some somber meditations about today’s statecraft. Adding next to the aforementioned tracks the P!nktastic title-track, and one has the 4 key - and standout - songs to "Beautiful trauma". The sassy, Eminem-assisted "Revenge", pop-rock stomper "Whatever you want", the gut-wrenching "But we lost it", the latin-influenced "Where we go", "For now", a guitar ballad, the super catchy "Secrets", the R'n'B flavoured "Better life", the anthemic neo-gospel "I am here", and the bluesey "You get my love", round off this pop powerhouse's 7th offering. One that displays a wonderfully minimalistic production, is beautifully paced, balances finely between personal beauty and universal trauma, and stands as an imperative reminder of P!nk's often underrated vocal skills. Even the artwork in the 20-page CD booklet is fittingly less loud this time around (LP edition is nicer, plus, it comes with a download card). P!nk has always been somewhat of an outsider, but instead of trying to fit into the traditional pop role, slowly and steadily she crafted her own place in pop. Building upon the life lessons that marriage and motherhood brought, the new record offers some new chapters in her journey of self-discovery. Confident and comfortable, intelligent and insightful, real and raw, "Beautiful trauma" is all about life's duality. Looking at life through a more mature lens, and sounding gloomier and heavier than in her previous efforts, "Beautiful trauma" peels back the layers on Alecia Beth Moore (real name). An evolutionary work, showcasing a 38 year-old young woman who has grown with her lyrical choices, now at her most confessional and revealing, and just as relatable as before. Staying true to what set her apart ever since she burst into the music scene back in 2000, P!nk is no doubt unlike "Most girls". She has yet to come up with a perfect set, but this new one, alongside its antecedent, 2012's "The truth about love", is close to being one. Note: A behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of "Beautiful trauma" is, also, out; definitely worth watching. "Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop".
