Still a rock star

Popular ‘n’ bolshie singer Pink (pictured right) has got a new song out, which you may have heard when it leaked onto the internet about seven years ago. If not you’ll almost certainly have heard it on one of the many ‘music television’ stations that are hammering it 24/7.

What do we know about the song?

:: It is, in no uncertain terms, amazing.
:: It is Pink’s best song since ‘U + Ur Hand’ (which admittedly was only released two years ago but you can’t deny that she went off the boil a bit before that. In real terms it‘s Pink‘s first significantly brilliant single since ‘Just Like A Pill‘ in 2002).
:: It is about Alecia Moore’s split from her husband who did stuff with bikes or something.

That’s the introductions. What does it feature?

:: The year’s best use of stomping glam drums.
:: Approximately 30 choruses.
:: Delightfully frazzled, ‘I’m not coping with this very well, actually’ lyrics that convey the EXACT OPPOSITE to what they intend (an effect heightened by the subtle video).
:: Utterly amazing, stratospheric, chorus-rescuing synths that kick in during a chorus that doesn’t even need rescuing, just for 'good measure'.
:: Swearing!
