| With Missundaztood, Pink is sure to astonish her legions of dedicated fans as well as the critcs who applauded her boldness but expect the same R & B pop they heard on 2000's "Can't take me home". She unveils a stunning new voice...a voice that rocks!
"...Pink deserves respect for expressing herself instead of going through the teen-pop motions..." Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone
"The fact that Pink chose to risk all, and broke the industry's most rigid rule...only makes her achievement, and her future, that much rosier." Jim Farber, Entertainment Weekly

The grooving pop of the title-track is less hip-hop oriented than Pink's previous hits, sounding more like an amiable collision between Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray. "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like a Pill" tread even closer to pop-rock territory, the latter bearing an anthemic quality that wouldn't sound out of place on an Alanis Morissette album. The appropriately titled "Get the Party Started is a funky party anthem, and the rap-flavored "Respect" is a modern urban update on the classic Aretha theme. Whether she's making her way through pop, rock, rap, or R&B, Pink struts confidently enough through M!SSUNDAZTOOD to assure her admirers that she intends to stick around for quite a while. | | Whether you were one of the fans who feared or one of the detractors who hoped that Pink would fail to follow-up her smash debut album, M!SSUNDAZTOOD serves notice that the lady with the pink hair (yes, it still is) is more than just a one-shot flash in the pan.

| | Artist Overview | | Although Pink rose to prominence as an R&B singer in the classic `90s LaFace mold, a front displayed on her debut CAN'T TAKE ME HOME, it was when she took control of her own image in 2001 that she truly became an icon. While the Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes) composed hit "Get This Party Started" strayed not all that far from her initial dance-pop path, the remainder of M!SSUNDAZTOOD revealed an artist schooled in the punk tradition. Further recordings wandered down multiple paths, cementing Pink's reputation as a genre-bending pop songstress. |
