We introduced her back in April with this eyeful of a video which we called “all kinds of wonderful.” Now, she is readying up her album and what a visual treat the cover is. You know how we are suckers for artwork and sleeves and this is just one of the best of the year, if not the best. Moreover the title Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful is just spectacular. We can tell that Ms. Faith is the whole package. Her debut song “Stone Cold Sober,” which available now, sounds fresh and great. Mixing elements of Rock with sure-fire pop and a big pinch of attitude. Keep an eye out for Paloma Faith.

P!nk suspends herself mid-air for tour…

She did something similar in the previous tour and it is the biggest low-budget thrill in the history of pop DVDs. This time around she is stretching it for her half-hit “Sober.” What I love most about this tour, apart from the great music, is the fact that it is a year-long venture with zero North American dates. What a snub!

Roundup: P!nk’s Funhouse…

1. “So What.” Angst-ridden perfection.

2. “Sober.” Just OK.

3. “I Don’t Believe You.” Folk epic.

4. “One Foot Wrong.” Saunters in with no impression. 

5. “Please Don’t Leave Me.” Yes! Ta-tara-ta-ta.

6. “Bad Influence.” A definite grower.

7. “Funhouse.” Absolute genius!

8. “Crystal Ball.” Not my cup of tea.

9. “Mean.” Good. On the road twang.

10. “It’s All Your Fault” Yes! Fast-paced, circa Try This.

11. “Ave Mary A.” A little too radio-rock for me.

12. “Glitter In The Air.” All kindsa pretty.

13. “This Is How It Goes.” 180 km/h fun.

14. “Could’ve Had Everything” She always have cheery bonuses.

P!nk’s next singles…

PopJustice.com has some insight on what the next singles on P!nk’s Funhouse could be. “Sober,” which was obvious, but I think its not strong enough and “I Don’t Believe You,” which is too acoustic-y but could fare well with the adult contemporary market. In any case, those stickers are rarely true. Remember “I’m That Chick?” I think they are just a ploy to get those less cognizant music buyers to think that there is more than one good single on the album. In this case, lots of good ones.
