Can't Take Me Home - Pink

Advantages: Great vocals, Pink's own brand of modern R'n'B
Disadvantages: Subject matter is largely similar, some minor swearing

Pink made history in 2000 when she became the first white artist to sign on the dotted line with R’n’B label LaFace. The label, set up by legendary producer Babyface, is home to some of the biggest stars of modern day R’n’B and hip-hop, so she certainly had a lot to live upto. Since being plucked from obscurity she hasn’t looked back, and the fresh faced, vibrantly hair-doed American has gone from strength to strength. ...
...platinum selling album and was recently involved in the fishnet-clad melange of herself, Christina Aguilera, Mya and Lil’ Kim on the number one hit Lady Marmalade. Many ciaoers may only know this magenta-haired diva from her stint on this track, and not from her accomplished and funky debut album. If you are one of these people, your initiation starts here. Pink lists her main musical influence as Madonna, and if her first LP doesn’t ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of big R&B tracks
Disadvantages: A couple of tunes let it down

“Can’t Take Me Home” came out as the debut album from the Pennsylvania-born R&B, Rock and Pop singer Pink. This one came out in 2000 and was her breakthrough release as she performed in a style which appeared to fit in more with the Soul influences which she was raised on (which later went more towards the Rock and Pop world) as she got backing from the R&B singer and producer Babyface. 1. “Split Personality” Getting the album going, you have a track ...
...to fit in the style of 1998-2000 R&B, and it draws especially close resemblance to what Kelis was doing around this time and so it was really current in what it does for a decent opening cut as a tune to introduce what this has to offer from her. **Three Stars** 2. “Hell Wit Ya” You see as we move on through the thing, you get one which appears it take on in more influence from one of the people who has come to work on the production of this as this ...

Advantages: Original, phat beats, good lyrics, nice touch
Disadvantages: She has pink hair ?

I bought Pink's album about 2 months ago and copied the songs onto my computer straight away. I lent the album out to one of my female friends within about a week of buying it, and I still haven't got it back coz she likes it so much ! Her particular favourite is " Hiccup ". Pink is mostly known for her to main Uk releases " There You Go " and " Most Girls " which both proved big hits here in the charts. And her most recent release " You Make Me ...
...release increasing her reputation as the undisputed Queen of R'n'B. Songs which stand out for me are " Split Personality ", " Hell Wit Ya ", " Private Show " and " Love Is Such A Crazy Thing ". All of which I believe will be future contenders for UK number one. The album is very strong in terms of quality, with each of the songs offering an R'n'B fan that little something. The only song that migh dissapoint is " Stop Falling " which is a very slow ... Read review

Advantages: Great sound, great voice, great lyrics...what more could you want?!
Disadvantages: None

No, this isn't an advert for the Pink Panther, but the hottest new r&b sensation, Pink. Being only 19, her voice is absolutely amazing. She has her own style, which is strong, unlike Christina or Britney, who have more 'poppy' voices. Pink's album, 'Can't take me home' shows all of her talents, in only 13 songs. Most people are familiar with her first releases, 'There U Go' and 'Most Girls', which are followed by her successful 'You Make Me Sick'. ...
...is great! If you listen very carefully to her lyrics, Pink covers the everyday issues, for example, sex. It's not talking about it directly, but there is a hidden message in each of her songs. She is also known for talking about men, and how they ruin lives if you let them. 'There You Go' is the best example for this. There are many up-and-coming hits, like 'Hiccup', 'Private Show' and 'Stop Falling', with a range of tempos, from the fast 'Hiccup', ... Read review

Advantages: You can dance along to it, sing along with it and scream along with it.
Disadvantages: The 2 sappy ballads.

By now you should have heard the brilliant Top 10 single "There You Go" by this new american artist, well this is her debut album and quite frankly it rocks!. If you're at all into TLC or Destiny's Child then this is exactly the kind of album you'll love. As well as "There You Go" there's a load of similar tracks which are just as good and follow the same formula. These stand-out tracks include "The Hell Wit Ya", "Most Girls", "Can't Take Me Home" ...

Advantages: well-produced, clever lyrics, catchy tunes, a really good voice
Disadvantages: ballads, the fact she has now abandoned her r & b roots, no lyrics provided

...Know 7. Love Is Such A Crazy Thing 8. Private Show 9. Can't Take Me Home 10. Stop Falling 11. Do What U Do 12. Hiccup 13. Is It Love *** MY OPINION *** It seems like only yesterday but "Can't Take Me Home", Pink's debut album was actually released back on May 29th 2000. It's hard to believe she has been around so long, but she has! "There You Go" was a great example of funky r & b at its best, similar in tone and style to tunes such as "No Scrubs" or "Bills Bills Bills" - hardly surprising given that it was co-written by the same people! The lyrics are quick-witted, the singing quick-tongued and its set over a very cool, urban backing track. "There You Go" is a tune which sets the general tone of the album. Songs like opening track "Split Personality" - a cleverly concocted descent-into-paranoia tune about struggling to... Read review

Advantages: Great song, talented girls and a very classy video
Disadvantages: None

...?Lady Marmalade? was first done in 1975 by Labelle, who took the song straight to No. 1, and more recently the song was a B-side on All Saints No. 1 smash hit ?Under the Bridge?. Believe me when I say both are tame compared to this. The song itself, most people have heard at one point or another. But just to recap, this funky disco classic, with partly French lyrics, is a song that celebrates the independence of women. It has great rhythm and it?s the type of song that really makes you want to get up and shake your thang. It?s been years since there?s been collaboration as good as this one. The four ladies in question are HUGE. Pink?s debut album ?Can?t Take me Home? is top of the R ?n? B chart here on Ciao, Mya had a No. 2 hit in 2000 with ?Case of the Ex? and pop princess Christina has had three Top 5 hit singles since... Read review
