Beautiful Trauma is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink. It was released on October 13, 2017, by RCA Records. Following The Truth About Love, Pink took a career hiatus to focus on her personal life and become reinspired. Beautiful Trauma developed over a three-year period starting in 2015. The singer collaborated with a variety of producers, enlisting help from collaborators such as Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, Jack Antonoff, and Shellback. Pink and her manager, Roger Davies, served as the album's executive producers. Primarily a pop record, it also incorporates influences from EDM and folk music. The lyrical content reflects primarily on themes of love, heartbreak, and the duality of life, as well as expressing societal and global issues.

Beautiful Trauma received mixed reviews from music critics, many of whom praised its overall production and Pink's vocals. However, some thought it was too calculated and formulaic, questioning its originality. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 408,000 album-equivalent units becoming Pink's highest first-week sales to date. It was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 1,000,000 certified units. The album also reached the summit in over 10 other countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and top 10 positions in major music markets. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it was among the best-selling albums globally in 2017 and 2018, and has sold over 3,000,000 copies worldwide.

"What About Us" was released on August 10, 2017, as the lead single from Beautiful Trauma. It was a commercial success, topping the national charts of eight countries and peaking within the top 10 in 12 others, while reaching number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The second single, the title track, was moderately successful and attained top 40 positions on the charts of over 10 countries, while "Whatever You Want" and "Secrets" had limited releases in June and August 2018, respectively. The album was promoted by the Beautiful Trauma World Tour which ran from March 2018 to November 2019 and grossed over $390,000,000, becoming one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. Beautiful Trauma received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 61st awards ceremony, while "What About Us" was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance at the 60th Grammy Awards.

Background

[edit]

In September 2012, Pink released her sixth studio album The Truth About Love.[1] The electropop and rock-influenced pop album received critical acclaim[2][3][4] and became an international commercial success, having sold approximately 7,000,000 copies worldwide.[5] The album's associated world tour ran from February 2013 to January 2014.[6] In March 2014, it was reported that Pink had signed a new multi-album record deal with RCA Records.[7][8] In October 2014, she released a collaborative album titled rose ave., with Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, under the name You+Me.[9] Pink subsequently took a hiatus from her career.[10][11] However, she released some songs during this period, including "Today's the Day", used as a theme song for the 13th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and "Just like Fire" featured on the soundtrack of the 2016 film Alice Through the Looking Glass.[12][13][14] In April 2016, Pink confirmed that she was going through the writing process for her upcoming album via a post on her Instagram account, prompting media speculation about a potential Pink release during the second half of that year.[5][15][16] The album's creation and release were ultimately pushed back to 2017 after Pink gave birth to her second child, a son named Jameson Moon Hart, on December 26, 2016.[5][17] The singer announced in July 2017 that she was filming a music video for an upcoming single. Pink later shared a recording from the set of the video on her social media page, captioned: "Video #new #fyeah #itsallhappening".[18]

Writing and inspiration

[edit]

Pink described "You Get My Love" as her "biggest attempt" to emulate one of her influences, Nina Simone (pictured).[19]

The development process for Beautiful Trauma took place over three years, the longest that Pink has ever worked on an album.[19][20] Early writing sessions for the album were unsuccessful; Pink recalled that she spent a year writing slow and sad songs.[21] The singer added, "for a while, I didn't have anything to say, except for dumb sad stuff". However, Pink considered her career hiatus beneficial, citing it as helping her to become reinspired and "find [her] voice again".[20] During the hiatus, she concentrated on her family and living "a normal life", which influenced her music.[10][11] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pink said that Beautiful Trauma reflects her life at that time, and her focus was "to be as honest as I could".[11][22] She drew inspiration for her songwriting from several events, including a miscarriage, the 2016 United States presidential election and her dad being diagnosed with cancer.[23]

Pink collaborated with a handful of producers and songwriters for Beautiful Trauma enlisting the assistance of longtime collaborators, such as Billy Mann, Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, and Shellback, and new project partners like Johnny McDaid, Julia Michaels, and Jack Antonoff.[24] 50 songs were composed over the course of the album's development, including "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken".[19] Initially composed for the 2015 historical period drama film Suffragette, the song was inspired by the early 20th-century movement of the same name.[25] "You Get My Love" was written and produced by Pink and Tobias Jesso Jr., at the Earthstar Creation Center in Venice.[26] The track was recorded in 2016, while Pink was pregnant, an experience she deemed as "very sober".[27][28] Pink described the track as "the best vocal performance I've ever done in my life", and credited American singer Nina Simone as the major influence behind her vocal interpretation.[11][19]

In 2016, Pink co-wrote "I Am Here" with Billy Mann and Christian Medice in Los Angeles.[20][29][30] The following year, Pink contacted Mann in July after she had decided to record the song with a local gospel choir. The pair traveled to Philadelphia and booked a recording session at Houser Audio, with a 30-piece choir. Mann and Bill Jolly arranged the voices; Jolly also conducted the choir.[29] "Revenge" was written by Pink, Max Martin, and Shellback. After she wrote rap verses, Pink felt that the song was suitable for Eminem. Eventually, she sent him an e-mail, confessing her love and admiration for the rapper, and asking for a collaboration.[21] While he was in Rio de Janeiro, Eminem responded positively to her request. Four days later, he sent back an e-mail to Pink with his recorded verse.[20][11] Speaking of Eminem, she commented: "I think he's a lyrical genius, I think he's one of the best that ever did it."[31]

Music and lyrical interpretation

[edit]

Overview

[edit]

Beautiful Trauma is primarily a pop record that incorporates elements of EDM and folk music.[32][33] Lyrically, the album has an emotional theme, addressing insecurities and imperfect relationships, as well as the singer's concerns about societal and global issues.[10][34][35] Josh Hurst of Slant Magazine characterized Beautiful Trauma as a pop album "about bent-and-broken people",[33] while Rolling Stone staff wrote that most of the songs analyze "married life, motherhood and the state of the world".[36] Pink explained that the album marks a change in her vocal style. As a result of her pregnancy, her voice became clearer.[28] Most critics noted that Beautiful Trauma includes predominantly ballads with "dramatic" choruses;[33][35][37] Pink's manager Roger Davies called it "just a continuation of the previous records".[34]

Songs analysis

[edit]

Max Martin (left) and Shellback (right) both co-wrote and co-produced three songs on Beautiful Trauma.[26]

The opening and titular track, "Beautiful Trauma", is a power pop and pop rock song produced by Jack Antonoff.[38][39] Its composition consists of "hammered" piano chords backed by synthesizers and an orchestra,[35][39] while the lyrics delve into a long-term troubled relationship and compare it to drug addiction.[33][40] Described by Pink as a "funny record", "Revenge" is a "bad-romance duet" with Eminem.[27][41] Alternating between rap and sung sections, the track is centered on the subjects of betrayal, cheating, and unfaithfulness.[38][42] "Whatever You Want", the third song, is a "confessional" pop rock track produced by Max Martin and Shellback and inspired by the difficulties Pink faced in her relationship with husband Carey Hart.[10][20][38][43] Both Jamie Otsa from Drowned in Sound and Evan Sawdey of PopMatters noted similarities between the track and Radiohead's 1995 song, "High and Dry", referring to "more than a few chord changes".[35][40] The lead single from Beautiful Trauma, "What About Us", was written by Pink, McDaid, and Steve McCutcheon; production was handled by McCutcheon. An EDM song with influences of four on the floor, "What About Us" starts as a ballad and appears to be about a relationship at first glance.[10][38] The political lyrics depict a "peaceful message" of tolerance and unity for the people who feel ignored and abandoned.[10][34][44]

"But We Lost It" is a piano ballad, deemed as an "affecting damaged" love song, while "Barbies" contains folk elements and lyrics about the pressure of growing up while longing for a simpler time.[32][33] The seventh song, "Where We Go", details a damaged relationship over a "Robin Schulz-like loping" guitar melody, according to Andrew Unterberger from Billboard.[38] "For Now" is an adult contemporary power ballad,[45] whereas "Secrets" blends pop and funk music, with elements of deep house and electronic music.[38][42][46] "Better Life" is an R&B-flavored doo-wop track that incorporates gospel tones.[10][35][43] The song finds Pink comparing herself to people on social media, with lyrics such as "I found myself up late feeling kinda jealous/ Looking at the bullshit, other people's wellness".[10] "I Am Here" appears next, and it is an empowering song which includes a gospel choir and lyrics about Pink's "journey as a person".[20][41] The twelfth and penultimate track, "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken", was written by Pink and Michael Busbee as a "feminist chant" that depicts women fighting for equal rights and respect.[25][47] Beautiful Trauma concludes with "You Get My Love", a piano ballad described as "raw" and "emotional".[38] Pink's vocal runs were compared to those of Adele, Carole King, and Mariah Carey.[32][35][43]

At the 2017 American Music Awards, Pink performed the title track while hanging by a high wire in the air and walking on the side of the JW Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles.[67] The singer collaborated with the aerial dance group Bandaloop for a heavily choreographed performance, which included backward flips, "stunning extensions", and other acrobatic moves.[68] The performance was met with positive reviews from critics.[69][70] Billboard listed it as the best performance of the night, with the staff adding that "what makes Pink such a special performance is that no matter the setting, it's still about the vocals first".[71] In the United Kingdom, Pink promoted the album by performing "What About Us" on The Graham Norton Show on December 1, 2017.[72][73] She also performed the song live on the finale of the 14th series of The X Factor UK two days later, along with "Beautiful Trauma".[74] On December 5, 2017, Pink traveled to France and performed a concert at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris as part of the NRJ Music Tour.

Shot in black-and-white and directed by Sasha Samsonova, the accompanying music video sees Pink singing while sitting alone in a barren room, wearing a white tank top and distressed jeans.[81][82] Taylor Seely of USA Today called the visual "stunning", while Desiree Murphy of Entertainment Tonight opined that "it's one of her most powerful music videos yet".[83][84]

There's natural disasters at every turn". She continued, "but there's beautiful people [sic] in the world that are having a blast and being good to each other and helping others. Because I can be dark, I try to constantly remind myself that there's more good than bad".[31]

Beautiful Trauma was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 62, based on 9 reviews.[122] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 5.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[123]

Patrick Ryan of USA Today praised the "stripped-back arrangements" for emphasizing Pink's abilities as a singer-songwriter, and observed the album's theme gravitates towards "her tumultuous relationship with Hart" and "achingly relatable anecdotes" about marriage, family, and maturing.[125] Mike Nied of Idolator called it an album of "striding anthems" with strong pop productions and relatable lyrics.[124] Louise Bruton of The Irish Times shared a similar sentiment, pointing out Pink's consistent release of "relatable pop songs" throughout her career.[126] Chuck Arnold of Entertainment Weekly commended the album's "fresh and familiar" sound and compared the theme of "brutal truths about love" with The Truth About Love.[43]

Writing for ABC News, Allan Raible deemed Beautiful Trauma as excellent and noticed that "much of this record finds her working in ballad mode", which he considered a calculated move that highlights Pink's "significant power as a singer".[127] Drowned in Sound's Otsa praised the album's production and wide array of influences, feeling that the singer "proves that she's both still relevant, and a vital, confident female voice".[40] Chris Willman of Variety characterized Beautiful Trauma as "confessional pop songwriting" with "garrulous emotion", citing "Revenge" and "Whatever You Want" as highlights.[128] Unterberger believed the album is "unmistakably heavy", referring to the "far too vivid" tracks about relationship insecurities.[38]

Andy Gill of The Independent said that the producers' choice left "little room for originality".[42] Likewise, Hurst found Beautiful Trauma calculated, calling it "a little too clean, too tidy, too easily resolved". However, Hurst noted the album "demonstrates its humanity" through "sharp lyrics and deeply felt vocals", praising the raw and "soul-baring" nature of "Barbies" and "But We Lost It".[33] According to Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, the production of Beautiful Trauma is "undergirded with genuine feeling that Pink conveys with her measured performances", but the album sounds "too controlled", resulting in a "tamer record".[32] Sawdey was ambivalent toward the album's forgettable "sad serenades", ultimately calling it a "creatively dried out" breakup record.[35] The Guardian's Michael Cragg gave the album a somewhat mixed review, criticizing the familiar and "nagging" sound and concluding by saying it "does the job, nothing more".[46]

Accolades

[edit]

For its year-end tabulation, People listed Beautiful Trauma at number eight on their list of Top-Ten Albums of 2017, with Jeff Nelson describing it as "unfiltered, unleashed" and "cathartic".[129] In its year-end review of the best 20 pop albums released in 2017, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 20, noting that "[it] successfully avoids mimicking trends".[36] Billboard listed the album as the 13th best of 2017, with reviewer Patrick Crowley pointing out the singer's "tenacious warrior" mature attitude and her "sick sense of humor [that] is still in tact [sic]".[45] Beautiful Trauma received nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 61st Grammy Awards, and Best Pop Solo Performance for "What About Us" at the 60th ceremony.[130][131] At the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, the album was nominated for the Top Selling Album award.[132]

Sales were aided by her tour audience, with the cost of the album being bundled into the purchase price of a tour ticket for US and Canadian shows. Only when a purchaser redeemed Beautiful Trauma did it count towards the album's sales.[133] Around 225,000 copies of the first-week sales reportedly came from the album-ticket bundling.[134] Beautiful Trauma achieved the most first-week sales for an album by a woman in the US since Beyoncé's Lemonade (2016).[133][135] The album had the highest first-week traditional sales since Drake's Views (2016)—Pink's best opening week's sales yet.[133][134] The following week, the album descended to number three with sales dropping by 84% to 64,000 units.[136]

It became Pink's highest-charting album in the nation.[150][151] The sales of Beautiful Trauma exceeded 100,000 units and certified platinum by the SNEP.[152]

The album sold 50,000 copies in Australia within three days of its availability, and debuted at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, with first-week sales of 78,040 copies—the second-largest opening week of the year after Ed Sheeran's ÷.[153][154][155] As a result, it became Pink's fifth album to top the chart.[153] Total sales in Australia exceeded 100,000 copies over the second week, where the album remained at number one becoming the third album of 2017 to hold the summit for more than a week, after the Trolls soundtrack and ÷.[156] Subsequently, Beautiful Trauma spent six non-consecutive weeks at number one on the chart, becoming the longest-running number one album by a female artist in the country since Adele's 25 (2015).[157] The album finished 2017 as the second-highest selling album of the year in the country and was certified quadruple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for selling over 280,000 units.[158][159][160] In New Zealand, the album also debuted at the top spot on the Official New Zealand Music Chart, holding it for three weeks in a row.[161] It received a double platinum certification from Recorded Music NZ for shipments of over 30,000 units.[162] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Beautiful Trauma was the third and eighth best-selling album of 2017 and 2018, respectively, and had sold over 3,000,000 copies worldwide by March 2019.[163][164]
