Funhouse - the new album from Pink. I have to say at first I wasn't too sure. I was expecting to hear songs similar to 'So What' and 'Cuz I Can'; songs that shine Pink's personality. But there are actually quite a few slow songs; some which may could be seen as a little "depressing". But if you listen to the lyrics they are beautiful songs. Take 'Glitter in the Air' for example, it's a slow song but it's really relaxing rather then the lively, adrenaline-style songs she usually records and that's what I love about it.
On the other hand her new songs such as 'Bad Influence' and 'Ave Mary A' are back to her usual standard with upbeat rhythms and - oh who am I fooling, I don't know the first thing about music. All I'm saying is that if you like Pink's other albums you'll love this one too. The songs are absolutely brilliant as always and they really lift your mood!
I think most of the songs are about her split from her (now ex) husband Carey Hart. The way that I enterpret the song 'Funhouse' is that she's talking about how their house used to be full of fun and good memories but now all it brings is bad times and bad memories.
Overall, I actually really liked this album and no doubt I'll listen to it until I feel physically ill if I hear one of the songs again; but that won't happen for a couple of months yet!
