I understand that now she's only doing tours. After 20 years I'm sure she can't be that excited and inspired for writing stuff.
I understand that now she's a mum so obviously familiy is first.
I understand that she's doing different sruff=wine now which makes her happy and inspired the same way music used to do.
I agree. BT is IMO a strong album after a very lackluster TTAL and all of its different versions (again, my opnion)I would feel the same way if Beautiful Trauma had just the P!nk balance we are used to. I'm missing that aggressive Are We All We Are type song (or an I'm Not Dead/It's All Your Fault even), and the sarcastic humorous Stupid Girls/Bad Influence/Cuz I Can/Slut Like You type too. I know we have Revenge, but it's not on the same level for me.
I recall she said her goal for the album was not to have it all be sad songs, because that's all she had for some time. Well, it mostly is sad, unfortunately. There's an undertone of giving up, defeat and surrender to the entire album, which I hope is coincidental and not just her settling in and settling down, as terrible as that sounds. I only say this in a sense of "encouraging her creativity" and nothing else.
The moment Trump was elected, she posted something on Instagram about turning to music. I expected angst more than anything, and a fire that would address SO many issues that arose in the past few years with the political climate and society in general.
She spoke about scheduled studio time to record this album, and she also took the longest to make it. I think she overthunk it and kept editing and editing until it became a little watered down. That said, I still love it but I think the first 70% of the CD is more successful than the latter.
But this is what I don't understand. I thought it would be obvious to hear a political/social/spiritual album which asks the questions which SHE USUALLY ASKS on IG, Twitter or in the interviews. She's highly sensitive and intelligent so the things happening in the world reflects on her mindset. This world gives so much stuff to talk about and YET she released an album with full of loveyouhateyou songs. So I think she either does the easy way (releases stuff which sells easily to provide chance for touring) or really lost interest in making music. Or both.
I accepted that she had moved on from caring about music the way she used to. Now I stopped caring too. If she releases stuff I will be checking out obviously but times has changed for her and for us too.
