P!nk, All I Know So Far: Setlist [๐Ÿ“ท: RCA]P!nk continues to show her elite artistry on โ€œAll I Know So Far,โ€ a stellar new song from her live album, All I Know So Far: Setlist.

The run that three-time ๐Ÿ† Grammy winning pop superstar ๐ŸŽ™ P!nk (Alecia Moore) has experienced has been nothing short of incredible โ€“ she should definitely take a โ€˜victory lap!โ€™ Years ago, you couldโ€™ve argued between her and her two contemporaries (๐ŸŽ™ Britney Spears and ๐ŸŽ™ Christina Aguilera), she seemed least likely to experience longevity (not because of talent, mind you). Not the case, thankfully, as sheโ€™s experienced more success in deeper into her illustrious career than either Spears or Aguilera.ย  She definitely deserves it! On ๐ŸŽต โ€œAll I Know So Farโ€, a new studio single appearing on her live album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ All I Know So Far: Setlist, she shows just how elite her artistry is.ย 

โ€œAll I Know So Farโ€ isnโ€™t 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, itโ€™s well worth the duration! Written by Moore, ๐ŸŽผโœ Benj Pasek and ๐ŸŽผโœ Justin Paul, the great ๐ŸŽ› Greg Kurstin produces ๐Ÿ’ช. โ€œAll I Know So Farโ€ commences with prominent rhythm guitar, which serves as the primary accompaniment for a while.ย  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.ย  Beyond production and the vocals, the lyrics are absolutely beautifully-penned โ€“ very poetic and thoughtful throughout the course of the song.

Of course, there are a few salty words thrown in, but they donโ€™t 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 โ€“ it definitely gives off those feels.

โ€œYou throw your head back and you spit in the wind
Let the walls crack, โ€˜cause it lets the light in
Let โ€˜em drag you through hell
They can't tell you to change who you are
That's all I know so far.โ€

Furthermore, I love when Moore further lets loose on the post-chorus (or refrain), backed by harmonized vocals and delivering some stellar ad-libs.ย  Furthermore, the bridge provides fine contrast, as well as that signature f-bomb.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

For Alecia Moore, itโ€™s all good on โ€œAll I Know So Far.โ€ย  Every box is checked off as she continues to impress us with her artistry.ย  Honestly, P!nk is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and it is a joy to continue to have her spoil us with her talent.
