It has been five long years since pop-rock singer Alecia Moore, more popularly known as Pink, released her sixth album, “The Truth About Love.” So I was thrilled when she released her seventh album, “Beautiful Trauma.” Pink has been around since the late nineties, maturing through each album she has released. Sadly, she is underrated even though she has a beautiful voice and powerful message in each of her songs.

“Beautiful Trauma” is a very personal account of turbulent relationships and other difficulties in Pink’s life. This is not only evident in the lyrics but in the music itself, which is simple and stripped down.

The tracklist is a storyline for the complicated relationship that is put on display, starting with “Beautiful Trauma.” The song sets the stage for all the troubles described in later songs such as “Revenge.” Though “Revenge” is humorous due to the candid lyrics and Eminem’s appearance, it also details an ugly breakup due to alleged cheating.

“What About Us,” Pink’s first single off the album, captures the mood of the album as a whole, with the clashing of uplifting and melancholic themes. “Barbies” also fits this mood, as Pink talks not about superficial beauty—which is what I thought it would be about—but about wanting to go back to the days where life was simple: “playing barbies in [her] room.”

Pink is desperate to regain a happy relationship in “For Now,” wishing to “freeze/frame/pause/rewind/stop” and go back to better days. With the song’s powerful chorus contrasting the simple plucked guitar strings in the verses, “For Now” is my favorite song.

However, the songs can get repetitive at times because they all dwell on the same topic of broken love that needs to be carefully pieced back together. Despite this, the truth in Pink’s words makes you want to keep listening. In the last song, “You Get My Love,” Pink not only gives a satisfying conclusion to the twisted love story, but stuns the listener with her powerful voice and only a piano to back her.

“Beautiful Trauma” contains raw emotion and vocal prowess not often heard in today’s music, which is exemplary in itself. However what really hits home is the message that though life’s challenges can be traumatic, they can also be beautiful. With that strong sentiment in mind, I give “Beautiful Trauma” an enthusiastic A.
