Having kicked her career off as the first white R&B artist to get signed to the LaFace label, Pink’s second album completely turned the tables as she re-invented herself as an uncompromising rock chick. ‘Try This’ continues the trend as Pink calls in the help of none other than Rancid mainman Tim Armstrong to add a further edge to her already-rockin’ status. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Pink has gone ska-punk, though. In the same way that ‘Mizundastood’ didn’t sound like 4 Non Blondes despite the involvement of Linda Perry, so ‘Try This’ is still very much Pink as her own woman. More down and dirty than latter-day Madonna, more believable than Christina’s grinding grooves, the ‘Try This’ album is Pink’s show of strength – the kind of strength that means she’s going to around for some time.
