There's more than one color to Pink.
"I hope this album shocks people who think they know who I am or what I'm about," says the feisty 22-year-old. Her debut album last year was an out-of-the-blue double platinum 'smash' within the US and gained platinum and Gold discs around the world. Her debut album spun off three Top 40 hits, two of them Top 10, one gold. Along the way, she also scored a #1 smash hit in a sensational teaming with three of the other hottest now female stars of the new millennium. Yet they only gave an inkling of the power of Pink.
On M!ssundaztood (Arista Records), released November 20, 2001, Pink unveils a stunning new voice on the music scene, a phenomenal singer-songwriter voice, a voice that rocks, a voice of unabashed freedom--her own true voice.
"I have faith people loved the last album not because it was the sound of the day but because they felt the strength of a young woman not afraid to express herself. There are so many lost kids not into teenybopper garbage. I'm one of them, and I want to reach out my hand. I'm not in this for the 'entertainment business.' Music should be much bigger than that."
With M!ssundaztood, Pink is sure to astonish her legions of dedicated fans as well as critics who applauded her boldness but expect the same R&B pop they heard on 2000's Can't Take Me Home. "I love unpredictability. I do what I'm told I can't do; its a challenge. I'm a big dreamer."
Here are just a few of the many awards P!NK has received both in the USA and abroad...
