Many musicians come and they go. One hit wonders, pop princesses, and rappers. One artist that continues to grow, both emotionally and lyrically, is P!nk. She has had not only massive hits on the radio and has the title of two-time Grammy Award winner, but she’s been in the business for over 10 years, which is a difficult feat to achieve by today’s standards.
What makes P!nk different than other musicians is her uniqueness. She has worked with megastars and continues to pump out meaningful songs that not only sound good, but deliver an uplifting and heartfelt message. Take Dear Mr. President, for example. It has such raw emotion and lyrics to it, that you can’t help but to shed a tear while listening to it. “How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream, when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye?”
Then listen to a song like Fuckin’ Perfect. An upbeat, contemporary track, which makes you feel good. But then you listen to the lyrics and chuckle because the track is upbeat, but the lyrics convey a much different message. And the video is not only disturbing and uncomfortable to watch, but it’s gutwrenching meaning behind it leaves you applaud P!nk for not fitting the generic Hollywood mould. And then she goes and makes a track with Eminem, which is wicked cool. Bloody awesome.
Kudos, P!nk. Thank you for inspiring a generation of change and to just be yourself.
