P!nk followed up her sassy anthem "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" with the more emotional ballad "Try," which is accompanied by a well-choreographed, primal, physically aggressive video. When she was teasing this new video, P!nk explained that it was her favorite video ever to shoot, and now we know why. The clip, which premiered Wednesday morning on Vevo, is elegant, complicated and audacious with an artfully choreographed performance - like P!nk at her best.
The ethereal new single "Try," the second single from the 33-year-old singer's sixth studio album, "The Truth About Love," is a jacked-up ballad, modeled on '80s FM rock that was written by Ben West and Michael Busbee, and is built around two-volume arrangement, and much less bombastic than that first cut, using a quiet verse/loud chorus dynamic, with spacey synths and distant guitar squalls alternating with a wave of percussion and overdrive during the refrain.She can write with anyone from any genre and turn the result into a great, personality-drenched pop song.
Over the course of her decade-long career, P!nk's always pushed herself to the limit. Whether that meant dangling upside down some 60 feet in the air, blowing a bunch of stuff up, or pulling off the kind of acrobatic moves that would give Cirque du Soleil pause, she seemingly prides herself in going further than any of her pop contemporaries would ever dare. So it should probably come as no surprise that, in her new video for "Try," she's at it again, only this time, P!nk's not relying on props to take things to the next level that writhes with passion, tension and precision, and tells the story of a relationship taken to the brink and back.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi and choreographed by The Golden Boyz along with P!nk's trapeze partner Sebastien Stella, the video is inspired to reinvent the Apache Dance. This aggressive and acrobatic, yet beautiful and passionate interpretative dance is a physical expression of the battle between men and women. It is the dance that drives the story about sticky situations one may face when it comes to love, situations that P!nk sings about in her song. It is definitely a work of art, and uniquely, unquestionably P!nk, who continues to push herself to the limit, and pulls it off with effortless grace. Your move, everyone else.
