P!nk hasn’t slowed down during lockdown and has been learning how to produce and engineer her own music.
The singer might have been forced off the road during the pandemic, but she’s kept busy working on her Amazon Prime Video documentary film ‘P!nk: All I Know So Far’ and its accompanying soundtrack.
The album features two new compositions – the title track and Cover Me in Sunshine, a duet with her daughter Willow Sage Hart – and the star reveals she crafted the tracks alone at home.
“I learned how to use GarageBand and record myself,” she tells WSJ Magazine. “For a 40-year-old girl to learn how to be alone and record for the first time in her life, even though it was just GarageBand, it was a huge accomplishment for me because I’m usually at the whim of engineers and producers.
“To be able to do it on my own — I did the Keith Urban duet that we did [One Too Many], I recorded Cover Me in Sunshine, I recorded All I Know So Far, recorded the Rag’n’Bone Man single [Anywhere Away from Here] and all these other things.
“It just felt so empowering and liberating.”
P!nk released her latest studio album ‘Hurts 2B Human’ in 2019, featuring the hit singles Walk Me Home, 90 Days and Can We Pretend.
Earlier this year, she took home the coveted Icon Award at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
“As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a singer and sharing my love of music with the world. Years later, to receive the Billboard Music Awards Icon Award is hard to fathom,” she said in a statement.
“I feel so honored to join the ranks of music idols like Cher, Garth Brooks, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder. It’s a true ‘pinch me’ moment and I feel humbled and blessed.”
