About Pink
Pink, also styled P!nk, is a Pennsylvania-born singer whose recordings connect R&B phrasing, pop-rock and dance production. Can't Take Me Home introduced her solo repertoire in 2000; M!ssundaztood brought a stronger guitar-oriented sound and work with Linda Perry. Her grainy voice is equally prominent in forceful choruses and quieter ballads. Later albums extend that range, while recordings with Nate Ruess and Willow Sage Hart use distinct duet settings. Trustfall continues the catalog into 2023.
