The long wait is over. Pink will release her seventh album Beautiful Trauma on October 13th. The 13 song collection is lead by the pulsating and anthemic new single What About Us. The track premiered at lunchtime today and is already scaling iTunes charts globally. By far , its her strongest lead single since 2008's So What.
The track starts as piano led ballad before erupting into a powerful synth laden stomper. Pink's vocals are as strong and defiant as ever. Lyrically , the track harks to some of Pink's usual underdog themes "Sticks and stones they may break my bones , /But then I'll be ready " and "What about all the broken , happy ever afters "
The dance infused synths are a welcome departure for the singer. And the track is bound to give her another well earned Number 1.
Meanwhile , Beautiful Trauma will come over five years since 2012's The Truth About Love. That album spawned the US Number 1 Grammy nominated smash Just Give Me A Reason with Nate Ruess.
Since then , Pink has appeared alongside Dallas Green on 2014's side project You+Me. The duo released the acoustic folk of Rose Ave.
Last summer Pink appeared on Setting the World On Fire with country legend Kenny Chesney. Earlier this year she appeared alongside Sia on the track Waterfall by production whiz Stargate.
