P!nks first album

[Guest ARTPOPSlays]

Confuses me lol. The songs are good. But they don’t sound like Pink at all. I know they probably weren’t songs that she truly wanted to sing, and more so a way to just get into the industry. Honestly though, we’re those songs big back in the day? I was a child so I wouldn’t know. We’re those songs popular? Did people know who pink was? Her second album feels more like the debut album then her first does. Her first feels equivalent to Red and Blue. Does that make sense? It’s just so not pink at all. For people who experienced this music when it came out, what was it like? Who did people think pink was? We’re people shocked when the second album came out?

I feel like she didn’t hit it big at all, because the sound of Can’t Take Me Home wasn’t the sound she felt best with.

Missundaztood was a shock for sure for people who knew her, but the rock-pop bops sent her mainstream, and most people consider that her true start.

It' actually very P!nk, she's not hating the songs, she's hating the "persona" that the label created, the somehow cool girl white rapper acting that they wanted her to act, she hated this, she could sing these songs without this acting.

Other than There You Go, she didn't really hit it big until her second album.

Thing about P!nk is shes a trendchaser or adapts her sound to what's current. In the early 00's a lot of the mainstream was R&B or having a hip-hop influence. Fact check me on that though bc I was a literal child at the time

Then she went more rock/emo in sound and image for the majority of the mid-late 00s and went more pop rock until the 10s which reflected a lot of the sound at the time. Post 10's i dropped off considerably but I can still almost always tell the year of a track based on how it sounds. She's consistent but doesnt have a 'staple' sound.

I always thought this was better the 'There You Go'.

The R&B sound of her first album wasn't her choice and she has made that clear since the time.

Wrong.

She was ordered to sing those rnb tunes by LA Reid, it's not her choice. She literally sings about it on DLMGM

Mizzundaztood is the sounds that P!NK wanna do, and she was glad she able to. The rest after that up to So What is still similiar, in the same vein to Mizzundaztood.

This description couldn’t be further from the P!nk that I know... are we talking about the same artist here? 

[JRCF29 8,182]

I don’t think the songs from Can’t Take Me Home are really all that off-brand for P!nk; spunky, sassy, self-empowering, etc. The sound, sure, but the songs? I don’t know. And she still regularly performs TYG/MG/YMMS as a medley on tour

[Babel 41,327]

She sounds like the fourth member of TLC 🥴

[Cookie Tookie 10,546]

Her first album is better than her latest two albums. Change my mind. 
 

But on topic, it was a persona created by her label since that 90s RnB sound was in at the time. She got more freedom with her second album to make music that she actually wanted to create that was more rock influenced. 

[Anderson123 37,893]

Well it was her debut album and the label had a big weight on it. P!nk was their new artist and they wanted to hop on that R&B TLC sound. I think it was pretty ballsy that she decided to follow her own gut for Missundaztood and they allowed her and trusted her ideas, it ended up being even more successful. Without Missunzatood there would be no Christina's Stripped.
