P!nk's Funhouse has room for several kinds of resolve
So What, Sober and I Don't Believe You show how much emotional range P!nk could place inside one recording period. Funhouse, released in 2008, moves between defiance, unease and a more exposed kind of singing without losing the directness of her voice.
Three different production settings
Sony's original album account connects So What with Max Martin, identifies Danja, Jimmy Harry and Tony Kanal around Sober, and describes the piano-and-string setting of I Don't Believe You. The songs do different jobs within the same album, giving the singer more than one way to reach a large refrain.
Attitude is only one colour
The force of the faster singles can make the quieter performances more revealing. P!nk does not need to sing every line as an argument to retain authority; a more restrained phrase can make uncertainty sound just as definite. Hearing those recordings together gives Funhouse a changing emotional perspective. The voice remains recognisable, but each arrangement asks a different question of it, from the satisfaction of a shouted response to the difficulty of sustaining a softer admission.
