New Pink album

from MTV News.

Details on Pink's upcoming album have been hard to come by this summer — until now. Due in stores on November 11, the singer's album now has a tentative title, Try This.

The track list is still under wraps, but the first single


— also tentative — will most likely be called "God Is a DJ," an energetic, melodic pop song that merges Pink's exuberant dance-floor energy with a grinding, rock edge.

On the hook, Pink sings, "If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor, love is a river, and you are the music/ If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor, you get what is given, it's all how you use it."

During an internal Arista Records event in New York on Tuesday, label president Antonio "LA" Reid said he was blown away with Pink's vocal prowess on her new material, particularly the emotional ballad "Catch Me While I'm Sleeping." "She's really showing off her vocal talents on this album," Reid said.

While Pink has remained mum on Try This, others have spilled some of the beans. Songwriter Linda Perry, who worked with Pink on her multiplatinum Missundaztood, confessed that she was again collaborating with the singer. She indicated that the songs this time around would be much lighter emotionally than on the last album (see "Pink Won't Be 'Yapping About Her Problems' On New LP, Linda Perry Says").

Rancid's Tim Armstrong has said he's been writing songs with Pink, but when asked about it recently, Pink said, "I don't tell who I'm working with yet." Pink's reps would also not confirm his involvement.

So like, is this going to be rockish or r&bish?

God is a DJ was a dance single released by Faithless in 1998. I hope this is not some kind of remake disbelief

Likewise, because I LOVE Faithless!!! Tho the lyrics posted here sound nothing like theirs, so perhape she just ripped off the title.

The Faithless lyrics to God Is A DJ are below:

"This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church (3x)

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
For tonight
God is a DJ (3x)
This is my church (3x)"

Looks like it's not the same song.

No, she's awful. I hate her music more than that of ANY other female artist ever.

I call it as I see it and I wish she never recorded a single song.
