TRACK OF THE WEEK - "Just Like A Pill" by P!nk

Metaphorical pills, contagious drum beats, a massive sense of resonating nostalgia and of-course the main ingredient...PINK (Stylised at P!NK).

P!nk (born as Alecia Beth Moore), American RnB/Pop Rock singer, songwriter, dancer and actress known for hits like "Get The Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me","Just Like A Pill" and "So What".  Her discography consisting of 7 albums, and more impressively Pink has sold over 42 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide. In America alone she has sold over 16 million albums.

Is Pink still relevant? Making her start actively in the industry in 1995, it is apparent that by the number of records she sells and how wide spread her music is, that indeed she is still relevant even in 2018. Even with albums like 'M!ssundaztood' which was released in 2001, her music is still vital in today's society because of how much of an influence she is to her audience, and to her daughter Willow Sage Hart.

'Just Like A Pill' a relatively moderate paced song with a major scale is a throwback track for sure. With a attention grabbing instrumental introduction, and a fading out end it is everything in between that makes the song. The strong sense of symbols, kicking in, as the song leads up to the chorus, which keeps the beat catchy and dancey. "I think I took too much"  from this song, as dancey and enjoyable as it is it also has the obvious metaphor of pills being taken however, Pink has used them as a way of describing her boyfriend at that current time. The relationship went sour, and she used the metaphor to signify how she felt; making the main theme of the song about a painful relationship and the sub theme about drug abuse as, it almost romanticises drugs. 

There is always a point in the week where "I...Run just as fast as I can" to listen to this song, as it is a song that resonates highly with the audience. For some, the song resonates with them as they have had similar experiences, whereas for others it is simply just a song of their choosing. "I swear you're just like a pill" because of how catchy this song is, and how it is a song that always leaves the audience member wanting to listen to more. 

Would I recommend this artist/song?

Pink is artist that I always go back to. Whenever anyone asks my favourite song or favourite artist my mind draws a blank, because I can't choose a favourite, much less have a favourite. However if I was asked atleast one of my favourites Pink would definitely be within the mix. Her music both earlier stuff and recent stuff are for a desired person but I would highly recommend Pink. Her songs are extremely deep and meaningful additionally they are a healthy mix of fast paced and slow paced songs and almost every song of hers, is a highly energetic dancey tune.

Would I recommend this song in particular? Yes. Who knows, after listening to this if you aren't already a fan, you could be.
