Review: Trustfall - Pink

There are a handful of global artists that could adopt the mantel of being a music superstar, but Pink is sure one that should definitely be considered. She is now in her 23rd year as an established artist and has gained a huge fanbase in every corner of the world after releasing an extensive catalogue of critically acclaimed hits. 

Have you ever tried a trustfall? It’s the process of someone trying to catch you when you lean backward to stop you hitting the floor. It does take a lot of confidence in someone to know that you are not going to crack your head open when you start tentatively leaning. What pink has done here is take that idea, but put it into a relationship. Do we trust our partner enough to make a real commitment to them? It's quite a nice concept and I can see how the comparison works. 

From the very beginning you can tell where musically Pink is going to take us with this song.after her initial dreamy vocals of a few seconds the beat kicks in. A heavy synth bass pounds along, soon to be joined by an electronic kick drum which sets a wonderfully high energy feel. The vocals and overdubs keep the song interesting with an easy to remember hook that loops throughout the song. With all the complexity of the final production, it is no wonder that there was time to take this track to nearly four minutes, because it keeps us loving the different sections and energy that Pink has created with.
