The same goes for the pop star’s brilliant duet with Wrabel.

It has the potential to be a signature song for Pink, such is its universality and emotional pull. “Love Me Anyway,” a duet with country crooner Chris Stapleton, is a stone-cold smash and needs to be rolled out as the next single. Of the album’s four collaborations, two stand out as highlights. She also freshens up her sound by working with a new batch of producers including Peter Thomas, Jorgen Odegard and Oscar Görres.Īnother innovation is her collaborative approach. Alecia Moore (her real name) searches her soul on a collection of raw and vulnerable tunes that showcase both her vocal chops and mean pen. Thematically, the track gives you some idea of what to expect on Hurts 2B Human. Pink launched the album with “Walk Me Home,” an unusually mellow anthem that finds the hitmaker in a loved-up mood. She bounces back admirably on Hurts 2B Human. 2017’s Beautiful Trauma still appealed to the faithful, but it failed to cut through the noise and make much of an impact on pop culture.


On her last record, however, the 39-year-old struggled to find a place in the streaming-dominated pop world. She first reinvented herself on Missundaztood and then kept evolving on standout albums like I’m Not Dead and Funhouse. Since emerging as a bubblegum-haired rebel on 2000’s Can’t Take Me Home, Pink has cobbled together one of the best discographies in pop.
