Found this review of the album by The Scotsman. It's pretty shitty and lacks any details on most of the tracks and does a bad job at explaining how they came to their 2 star rating. I still have high hopes!
"It’s good to hear P!nk’s achey rasp again, but it's a shame there’s little more than generic dance pop and bland balladry for her to get stuck into on her latest album, writes Fiona Shepherd"
By Fiona Shepherd:
"Tis the season for eagerly awaited but underwhelming comebacks – first Shania Twain and now P!nk, with a ninth album which sells short her considerable talents and personality. It’s good to hear that familiar achey rasp again, but this time round P!nk is yearning for something to get her teeth into.
Instead she offers the likes of When I Get There, a mawkish country pop ballad speculating on a loved one’s afterlife, the generic dance pop of the title track, a song of recovery urging a leap of faith in the most generic of terms, and Turbulence, which leaves plenty of room for the listener’s imagination to construct something meaningful from its vaguely reassuring and aspirational sentiments. Guests The Lumineers, First Aid Kit and Chris Stapleton join her in bland balladry, with the latter at least a match for her own vocal chops.
Trustfall was inspired by family bereavement and illness so it’s not the record to get the party (re)started but proceedings do perk up slightly in the hands of Swedish super-producers Max Martin and Shellback, who whip up the Whitney-referencing pop confection Never Gonna Not Dance Again, so listeners may never gonna not listen to this below par album again."
