Product Description:

The contrivance level is high on this debut by an R&B singer named for her out-of-bottle hair color. La Face Records' latest female discovery is positioned midway between mainstream hip-hop soul and poor imitations of Kelis-style anger. Producer-writer She'kspere brings out his trademark machine beats for "There You Go," a pale copy of "You Oughta Know"; still, that single's more artful than "Split Personality," which clumsily attempts to acknowledge three-dimensional human reality but really sounds like a fit of whining until Pink unleashes the inevitable melisma over the song's coda. Elsewhere, she makes nice on standard-issue ballads ("Stop Falling") and lite-reggae proclamations of love ("Private Show"). "I just wanna make you feel things," Pink sings at one point. Unfortunately, the emotion the cynical Can't Take Me Home inspires most is annoyance. --Rickey Wright

Pink rocks the house2008-01-07
Pink once again demonstrates her vocal attributes are above what one would expect a great singer to have. She has many wonderful songs that are worth listening to over and over again. Rarely does a singer like Pink produce songs as worthy of hearing as these.
Another fantastic performance by PINK2007-06-10
Once again another beauty album by Pink. They just keep getting better and better!
good second album2007-03-26
This album builds on lessons learned from Pink's first release "Misunderstood". It has some more polish and finese, but still maintains that hard edged "I'm gonna tell it like it is" style that makes Pink, Pink. I really love her bold confidence and pure scrappy attitude. She is a good performer and has a strong sultry voice. I am collecting her work in reverse order starting with "Try This" and finding the early albums great glimpses of what was to come later in her career. She is a strong person and will be around for a long time.
Go Girl! You kick major A## Pink !
great... i suppose2007-01-17
i heard all the stuff that pink has done since lady marmalade and i was curious about this album.
First of all, i was prepared for hear some r&b stuff but i was really suprised with this album.
I'm not a r&b fan, i'm a pop fan but pink makes something special with this rythms... she demostrates once more that she rocks for real!
Okay, but nothing special2006-11-09
I purchased Pink's later three albums before I picked this one up. I really like Try This and I'm Not Dead, both are really solid albums and show how Pink has matured as an artist. Can't Take Me Home is not a bad album just doesn't compare well with the later work.
