Pink

Blow Me (One Last Kiss)

 

Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979), better known by her stage name Pink (often stylized as P!nk), is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress. After her three-year career with the contemporary R&B girl group Choice, in 2000 she released her first single “There You Go,” from her debut album Can’t Take Me Home. The song garnered commercial success, peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2001, she released her second, more pop rock-oriented, studio album, Missundaztood. The album went on to become a critical and commercial success. The album produced four singles, “Get the Party Started,” “Don’t Let Me Get Me,” “Just Like a Pill” and “Family Portrait,” each entering the Top 20, with “Get the Party Started” being her highest charting solo single (tied with “Most Girls”) until “So What” in 2008, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In November 2003, Pink released her third album Try This. The album was, commercially, less successful than her previous album, making it Pink‘s least successful album to date. It produced three singles, “Trouble,” “God Is a DJ” and “Last to Know,” with the first receiving a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. After taking a short break, she released I’m Not Dead, her fourth studio album, on April 4, 2006. It marked her comeback after the poor performance of her previous album. The album debuted and peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200, Pink‘s highest debut on the chart. It was preceded by the controversial single, “Stupid Girls”, which garnered commercial success. The second single, “Who Knew,” was virtually ignored on American radio, but after the huge success of “U + Ur Hand,” was re-released, peaking at #9 on the charts. “U + Ur Hand” is credited to have revived Pink‘s career in the US, and also to have brought the album back to the charts. Her fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late October 2008. It was preceded by her first solo number one on the Billboard Hot 100, “So What.” The album notched three other Top 20 hits: “Sober,” “Please Don’t Leave Me”, “Funhouse”, “I Don’t Believe You”, and “Glitter in the Air.” On November 15, 2010, she released her first compilation album, Greatest Hits… So Far!!!. The album produced two singles, “Raise Your Glass” and “Fuckin’ Perfect,” the former reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. In January 2012, Nielsen Soundscan reported that Pink was the 4th most played artist of 2011.[1] In September 2012, Pink released her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, on September 18, 2012. The album features the top ten hit, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)“, as well as the following single, “Try”.

“Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Pink, released as the lead single from her sixth studio album The Truth About Love. The song was scheduled for a July 9 premiere but was delivered a week earlier after an initial version was leaked online. Produced by Greg Kurstin, the song was named as “classic P!nk“, and was very well received by music critics who compared it to previous hits by P!nk including “So What” and “Raise Your Glass”. With “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)”, P!nk ranks third among women with most Top 10′s since 2000, behind Rihanna and Beyoncé, with twelve Top 10 hits in the USA, after scoring a massive jump on the Hot 100 during the song’s second week, leaping from #58 to #9 after promotion on the iTunes Store.

The video for “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” features a black and white picture and was directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers who directed almost half of her career’s 33 videos. It premiered on July 27, 2012 on MTV and VEVO.
