P!nk - Try

P!nk's got a couple of signature sounds.  There's her rough side, and there's her party side, both which were somewhat present in "Blow Me One Last Kiss," but she's also got her incredibly vulnerable side which is what "Try" is all about.

The song has a lot of similarities to her previous hit, "Perfect."  It's a reflective piece that is meant to boost one's spirit.  Unlike "Perfect" though, P!nk isn't speaking to anyone but herself.  This is her song, showing all of her insecurities, but telling herself that she's still going to try.  It shows a lot of inner tenderness that makes the song really beautiful.  It doesn't quite have the same raw power that was present in "Perfect," but that is a hard feat to top.  The song is no less beautiful, though, the feeling is clearly still there.  It took me a few listens to really connect with it,  but once I did, I felt a beautiful emotion within the words.

The lyrics are perfectly done.  It's a simple song, while delivering a strong story.  P!nk says exactly what she means, "Where there is desire, there's bound to be a flame.  Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned.  But just because it burns doesn't mean I'm gonna die.  You gotta get up and try."  It really emphasizes the album's title, "The Truth About Love."  This is a universal truth about love, and she's saying that you can work through it.  Much of the song is just a repetition of the phrase, "And try, and try, and try.  Gotta get up and try."  Yet this only reinforces the strength.  The repetition shows her determination, she's not going to back down, she's just going to keep trying.

The song is beautiful, and is bound to be another one P!nk's hits.  She's got a lot of competition right now, but no one can really match her sound, her fragile emotion, and her strength.  I would be surprised if this song does not go to number one.

P!nk - Blow Me One Last Kiss

This is one of those songs that came out and surprised me.   I really thought that we wouldn't be hearing from   P!nk is a while, now that she's a mother.  However she's back and she's ready to smash right back into the world.

P!nk is a impressive artist, as she manages to stick to a winning formula, while still making it sound fresh every time.  She's got her unique style, yet each of her songs always offer something different.  Her last two big hits were "Raise Your Glass," a party song, and "Perfect" a relationship song.  "Blow Me One Last Kiss" is different from both of them, it's a rocking break up song.

Unlike most break up songs, though, it's not angry and it's not sad.  It's more like, "Whatever, I'm done with this."  It's very in character for the P!nk's persona and it's a lot of fun too.  It's an upbeat song, and could easily be a party anthem if you ignored the lyrics.

The song has a nice pounding rhythm and it's easy to bob along with it.  P!nk rolls off the chorus in a fun style that really just flows together great.  The song is pretty much just a nonstop train that keeps on going.  It's a dancy song, while still maintaining the rock edge.

Like I said, the song is a lot of fun and I'm certain it's going to be bringing even more success for P!nk.  With big names like Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Madonna not doing as well, I think it's time we got to see a superstar return with power.
