"It&amp;#x27;s pretty ballsy to call an album The Truth About Love, but there&amp;#x27;s Pink for you. Thankfully, pop&amp;#x27;s resident guts-and-glory bad-girl superstar knows quite a bit about love, thankyouverymuch. Pink has always been known for her raw honesty and soul-baring humanity. Flashback Tuesday: Where were you when Pink dropped &amp;quot;Don&amp;#x27;t Let Me Get Me&amp;quot; off her game-changin&amp;#x27; sophomore LP M!ssundaztood? Don&amp;#x27;t get it twisted, though: Never has Pink rooted so adamantly for #1. Judging by the glossy radio-smash potential in each of The Truth About Love&amp;#x27;s 13 tracks, that means everyone will be listening. So far, momentum has been built on the strength of her totally-killer current single, &amp;quot;Blow Me (One Last Kiss).&amp;quot; That awesome clip, below! Another highlight: Lily Allen Rose Cooper&amp;#x27;s guest appearance in &amp;quot;True Love&amp;quot; is only 20 seconds, sure, but her vocals add to the tune&amp;#x27;s mournful sweetness, as Pink traverses the well-publicized details of her relationship with on-again, off-again hubby Carey Hart. Elsewhere, &amp;quot;How Come You&amp;#x27;re Not Here&amp;quot; expounds on Pink&amp;#x27;s ongoing I-love-you-I-hate-you-come-back-to-me narrative, and is replete with tongue-in-cheek (correction: the entire album is brilliantly tongue-in-cheek), power-chord instrumentation and even an operative vocal breakdown. Love the drama. My favorites? Those would be &amp;quot;Slut Like You,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Walk of Shame,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Here Comes the Weekend,&amp;quot; which are curiously ordered on the album. They&amp;#x27;re sandwiched in between slower, more ballad-esque fare. They&amp;#x27;d likely serve better for the listener as a trilogy of cautionary tales and storied debauchery. For instance, &amp;quot;Slut&amp;quot; lays the charm on extra-thick, with its howled choruses and rapped breakdown. The song&amp;#x27;s energy is an aggressive kind of fun that will call to mind something you&amp;#x27;d hear at a Pay-Per-View mud-wrastlin&amp;#x27; match. Pink is perhaps in her finest, most charismatic form here. &amp;quot;Shame&amp;quot; feels like an appropriate sequel. Perhaps the ultimate party-rock preview comes with the aforementioned &amp;quot;Weekend,&amp;quot; which boasts a loopy, minor-key circus melody over a rap-metal-era beat (yes, Limp Bizkit, but in like the best way, promise!!) and couplets about high heels and cherry wine. A guest verse by the always-mischievous Eminem puts the fun factor through the roof. Thanks to the album&amp;#x27;s primary co-producer, Greg Kurstin, The Truth About Love&amp;#x27;s series of existential statements about the topic are realized by weird, slightly dark musical arrangements that seem to pose questions. That contrast is a production choice that makes so much sense because it, along with Pink&amp;#x27;s lyrics (Love is &amp;quot;sandwiches without the crust,&amp;quot; Ding ding ding!) captures the very essence of love&amp;#x27;s emotional rollercoaster perfectly. The truth about Pink is that she&amp;#x27;s prolly not going anywhere any time soon, and The Truth About Love cements her status as a soldier for the very thing we all need most.
