Dear Mr. President

P!nk

A stark, acoustic confrontation of power. P!nk strips away the pop production for a folk-driven open letter defined by raw vocals and haunting harmonies.

Dear Mr. President represents a startling pivot for an artist usually associated with high-octane pop-rock and acrobatic stage performances. This is P!nk at her most vulnerable and focused, trading the drum machines and distorted guitars for a single acoustic guitar and the legendary harmonies of the Indigo Girls. The sound is intimate, almost uncomfortably so, as if the listener is eavesdropping on a private letter being read aloud in a small, wood-paneled room. It carries the weight of 1960s protest folk but is firmly rooted in the specific anxieties of the mid-2000s.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the Indigo Girls' harmonies swell on the line 'How do you sleep at night?'
P!nk's voice breaking slightly when she mentions the 'hard work' of a mother
The final, lingering acoustic chord that leaves the questions hanging in the air
