and give the listener insight into Welch’s life experiences with relationships and the loss of her grandmother in her early life. The lyrics are filled with haunting imagery that anyone can relate to, in turn with Welch’s powerful voice makes for gripping listening. A lot of the songs have a catchy beat that you’ll be struggling to get out of your head for days. ‘Shake it out’ and ‘Heartlines’ are the most uplifting songs on the album which speak of battling through hard times and coming out the other side. Although, there are some weaker songs on the album where Welch has been likened to an angsty ‘Avril lavigne’ (No offense Lavigne lovers!), the power of the overall album more than makes up for it. In my personal opinion I think the album is stunning and if I were to give it a rating it would be a well-deserved 8/10. LavaLamp. The Truth About Love – P!NK

That's right, the punk rock diva we all love is BACK! With her new album, she's grown up and become a wise and clever songwriter, whose songs inspire and relate to everyone, with strong and thought-provoking messages. P!NK writes about real emotions, real experiences, and real situations. She has always been my "go to" singer when I've needed a song for something, for a dance playlist or for something to listen to when I'm feeling lower than ever and hiding under my duvet, her words provide a comfort and a warmth. Another reason I chose to write about her is because she is herself, and she's not afraid of what people might say or think, and I think thats a message we all need to say to ourselves sometimes. She's also not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
