Pink
Although she was initially viewed as yet another face in the late-'90s
crowd of teen pop acts, Pink quickly showed signs of becoming one of the
rare artists to transcend and outgrow the label. At the tender age o 14,
Pink began writing her own songs; the same year, a local DJ at Club Fever
began allowing her on-stage to sing a song every Friday. Pink was spotted
one night by an executive for MCA, who asked her to audition for an R&B
group called Basic Instinct; although she got the gig, the group imploded
not long after. She was quickly recruited for a female R&B trio called
Choice, which signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace label on the strength
of their demo; however, they too disbanded due to differences over musical
direction. During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked
Pink to write a bridge section for the song "Just to Be Loving You";
impressed with the results, Pink rediscovered her songwriting muse and
an equally impressed L.A. Reid soon gave her a solo deal with LaFace.
Pink recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a variety of songwriting
partners and dance-pop and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the album
was a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in "There
U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick."
She toured that summer as the opening act for *N Sync, but soon found
herself tired of being pigeonholed as strictly a teen act, despite her
sassy, forthright persona. As she set about working on her follow-up album,
Pink took part in the remake of Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade"
featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which also featured powerhouse
divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. The song was a massive hit,
topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K. Toward the end of the year,
Pink released her next single, "Get the Party Started"; it became
her biggest, most inescapable hit to date, climbing into the Top Five.
Her accompanying sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, quickly went double platinum;
it boasted a more personal voice and a more eclectic sound, plus heavy
contributions from ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry, who helped bring
some more rock muscle to Pink's sound. M!ssundaztood attracted positive
critical notices as well, and its second single, "Don't Let Me Get
Me," became another fast-rising Top Ten hit. ~ Steve Huey, All Music
