P!nk continues to show her elite artistry on βAll I Know So Far,β a stellar new song from her live album, All I Know So Far: Setlist.
The run that three-time π Grammy winning pop superstar π P!nk (Alecia Moore) has experienced has been nothing short of incredible β she should definitely take a βvictory lap!β Years ago, you couldβve argued between her and her two contemporaries (π Britney Spears and π Christina Aguilera), she seemed least likely to experience longevity (not because of talent, mind you). Not the case, thankfully, as sheβs experienced more success in deeper into her illustrious career than either Spears or Aguilera.Β She definitely deserves it! On π΅ βAll I Know So Farβ, a new studio single appearing on her live album, πΏ All I Know So Far: Setlist, she shows just how elite her artistry is.Β
βAll I Know So Farβ isnβt modest in length like many pop songs these days. No, P!nk gives us a full-fledged record, running north of four-and-a-half-minutes. No worries, itβs well worth the duration! Written by Moore, πΌβ Benj Pasek and πΌβ Justin Paul, the great π Greg Kurstin produces πͺ. βAll I Know So Farβ commences with prominent rhythm guitar, which serves as the primary accompaniment for a while.Β Later, drums enter the mix on the chorus, truly asserting themselves on the second verse, where the production evolves more. From start to finish, the backdrop is ample fuel for the fire as we get gorgeous, nuanced vocals by the pop star.Β Beyond production and the vocals, the lyrics are absolutely beautifully-penned β very poetic and thoughtful throughout the course of the song.
Of course, there are a few salty words thrown in, but they donβt take away from the excellence and refined nature of this song. The chorus is clearly the centerpiece, where P!nk is able to show just how elite she is vocally. Of course, she has nothing left to prove at this point! A few more notes. The songwriting on the chorus is particularly special β it definitely gives off those feels.
βYou throw your head back and you spit in the wind Let the walls crack, βcause it lets the light in Let βem drag you through hell They can't tell you to change who you are That's all I know so far.β
Furthermore, I love when Moore further lets loose on the post-chorus (or refrain), backed by harmonized vocals and delivering some stellar ad-libs.Β Furthermore, the bridge provides fine contrast, as well as that signature f-bomb.
Final Thoughts π
For Alecia Moore, itβs all good on βAll I Know So Far.βΒ Every box is checked off as she continues to impress us with her artistry.Β Honestly, P!nk is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and it is a joy to continue to have her spoil us with her talent.
