This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
From her vibrant handle — which matches her hair — you’d expect this neophyte singer’s music to be equally loud, bratty and rebellious: neon coloured-pop, dynamic disco and the like.
Well, you’d be wrong. Instead, all this magenta-topped Philly vocalist has to offer is cliche hip-hop / R&B crossover fare, with slinky-slow grooves, sultry melodies, lightly bumping beatbox rhythms and pointless overproduction to try to make up for so-so songwriting. On the plus side, P!nk’s voice is a sweetly soaring soprano. Too bad she doesn’t do anything with it that you haven’t heard on every other diva’s disc this year. Don’t take her home.
