While it was not a direct interview with P!NK, her record label RCA approved questions from Stephen ‘Steps’ Lowe for his show The LunchBox on Today Radio to be added to a conglomerate of questions by other journalists.
P!NK has been working on this new album, “Trustfall” since the beginning of COVID. It was a nice change of pace to her hectic record and tour cycle. She felt like she could really take her time and perfect the album. As such Trustfall is a product of COVID anxieties. She would get in the studio and need to “alchemize” her fears into music. It was COVID that made her realize “if the world is ending, I just want to dance.” This realization was major influence on the album’s ethos.
But the record isn’t all dancing music. Track listing was more important than ever on “Trustfall.” Where usually P!NK might keep an A side dance tunes and B side sad ballads, they are all mixed together on this album. “Trustfall” is an honest and upfront documentation of P!NK’s life, mixing all the happy and sad together.
She hadn’t even set out to create an album. P!NK just wanted to sing, but found she couldn’t stop once she started and all of a sudden the album unfolded in front of her in the studio.
Despite all her success and international acclaim, she sometimes has doubts about her abilities. P!NK says she enters every studio wondering if she is “still gonna know how to do it.” Sometimes, she enters the studio wondering if she even has anything left to say at this point in her career. To her surprise, she always does. P!NK says creating music is sometimes spiritual, like a message from the universe, coming naturally. Other times, making music is a lot like therapy where it takes a little bit of prodding to realize she does, in fact, need to say something.
“Trustfall” is out everywhere now.

“I enter into every studio situation and worry that I have nothing left to say, then I get there and I’m like ‘Oh, SHIT, Yes, I did’”
