Album Review: P!NK The Truth About Love

She’s back. Ready to show the world her more sensitive side Pink’s sixth album entitled The Truth About Love has the pop world all shaken up.

Pink’s new album seems to pick up where her last album let off and brings a fresh new R&B, country, Pop, Rock musical style that gives fans something to rave about. No two songs sound alike on the CD which is quite refreshing in comparison to other pop albums of 2012. Track number 11 even includes a cameo from Eminem doing what he does best, Rapping. It’s as though he is paying her back for her work on 2010’s “Won’t Back Down”.

In the 15^th track on the album Pink asks deep romantic questions like, ‘How do I keep you into me’ and ‘Is this thing on?’ referring to the lack of communication in her relationship. But the song feels rushed and is slightly generic for her talents. On the hand, one of the CD’s best songs is a duet between Pink and F.U.N singer Nate Ruess. ‘Just Give Me a Reason’ brings a catchy chorus and a melodic tempo that is easy to sing along with. It also could just as easily be on F.U.N’s new album as Pinks. One of the popest feel good, girly songs on The Truth About Love, is My Signature Move. Pink opens up her vulnerable side by saying stuff like ‘shoot myself in the foot to make a point I can’t prove’. She has always been proud of her tomboy side and doesn’t seem to want to make any changes in this new album.

Best songs on the album are, How Come you’re not here, Blow me one Last Kiss, and Just Give Me a Reason. How come you’re Not here makes you feel like you’re in an old blues club filled with cigarette smoke with Pink dressed up in a sexy corset rocking out on a tiny stage. It has both innocence and a special kind of strength that draws you in immediately. Blow Me One Last Kiss quickly became the anthem of the 2012 summer with its racy lyrics and its dance friendly beat. Just Give Me a Reason is by far the best song on the cd and may be Pink’s best in a long time.

Even the worst songs on the album are still pretty good. But going down the list the worst would have to be Is this thing on, Run, and Slut Like You. Is this thing on seems to just be dumbed down lyrics that don’t bring anything to the album and could have been done without. Run is full of ‘Ohs’ that become redundant and could be left out coupled with a piano melody that seems entirely too sad for a pop album. Slut Like You goes without saying as being the worst song on the entire CD.  It’s annoying and way too long. The last thing anyone wants to hear is Pink singing about how someone else is slutty.

Overall The Truth About Love is an easy album to keep on repeat on your mp3 player and has already pushed out several awesome singles.

I give the Album 4 out of 5 stars.

Blogger Samantha: The Cute Over-Vest

Not everyone has a vest that they can put over a shirt, but if you do then this style is very in. I like this vest because it is more of a corset. It provides the lift and tuck where I need it and it looks cute alone as well. Depending on the weather, you might want to wear it alone. It is also a halter so the back is left open. I have other vests that have a lacy back and the front looks a lot like this one. I like to wear that one over the same white T shirt shown here in the picture because it provides a light color under the dark black.

This is definitely something that I would recommend wearing to just about any outing. The best part is that it goes with just about any bottoms that you want. You can wear a skirt, pants, shorts, and just be creative. It is also something that can be worn in a sophisticated, professional, fun, or silly way depending on what you're dressing up for so make sure to add this type of vest to your collection of clothes. You never know what it might go good with or when it might come in handy when you're throwing an outfit together.

So now, how many of you already own these types of vests and how many of you are interested in owning them? You can find them at a number of retailers, this one in particular I purchased from Hot Topic but I also have another one that I purchased from Kohl's. They were both inexpensive and definitely cute with just about any outfit that I decide to throw together. Let us see your pictures of your vests and your thoughts on this type of outfit.

Graduation is Coming!

Hey! What's Up CupCAKE!?

With my undergraduate graduation quickly approaching I cannot tell you how excited I am. Especially since my class ring arrived the other day:

Please Note I blurred out the School Name for Privacy Reasons

 

 

 

This Ring is super special to me because as I described on Reddit.com:

This ring holds great personal value to me. I think school was a huge accomplishment for me - I faced a variety of hardships - and this ring embodies my college experience. Therefore, while monetarily it is pricey - emotionally it is priceless. Not that you have to remember college through a material object - however, I see this as something I can pass on to my future kids to encourage them that they do have what it takes to complete college even when life is hard.

Oh and of course I have my stunning Graduation Yearbook Picture! Which is seen below:

Album Review Me, You & the Music by Jessica Sanchez

Jessica Sanchez is an ex American Idol contestant who just finished her debut album entitled Me, You, & The Music. The singers amazing vocals and guest spots including NeYo, Sia, and Toby Gad make the CD an impressive compilation to behold. The album goes from upbeat pop singles like “You got the Love” to a crazy beautiful ballad in “Crazy Glue”.  The album stays close to its electro-pop roots, and even takes fans on a bi-lingual experience with “No one Compares to You” sang in both English and Spanish. The addition of a pop star that actually has talent into the pop pool is both exciting and frightening. I mean what will Ke$ha do now that she has real talent to compete with?

Me, You, & the Music takes listeners to the club with catchy dance/pop beats like in “No one Compares to You” and “Right to Fall”. The techno dub step beats make you want to get up and dance like a fool. On the other side of the coin is the melancholy lyrical story in “Plastic Roses” that make listeners feel like they are teenagers again. “Don’t Come Around” has an eerily similar sound to Rihanna’s Diamonds, but is both catchy and snobby enough to make you forget that.   

Although, the CD is slightly generic it does include Jessica’s signature high notes and her Beyonce like style that is sure to be popular with any young girl. The brilliant addition of NeYo to the song “Tonight” will bring crossover fans that are sure to be pleased by this NeYo inspired song. The album stays right in the realm her producers were likely shooting for, pop dance. With catchy lyrics and a consistent beat I would say the album reached its goal. The catchy chorus, lyrics, and pop style music coupled with impressive vocal talent make Jessica Sanchez’s first album both marketable and fun to listen to.

I would give this song 3 out of 5 stars.
