'Stupid
Girls' Video Debuts January 26 on MTV's Overdrive
NEW
YORK, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 4, 2006, the multiple Grammy
winning, multi-platinum selling LaFace recording artist known as Pink will
unleash her 4th album, I'm Not Dead, and it is everything it should be: a
stylistic evolution; a stunning display of her craft as a vocalist and
songwriter and a very personal scrap book of everywhere she's been and
everywhere she's going. This is Pink in top form, as brutally honest and
as soulfully vocal as only she can be. This album brims with Pink's
signature funk, but I'm Not Dead reveals her rock and roll side more than
ever. It's undeniable proof that Pink can belt the blues as well as she
rocks the dance floor.
It's
going to be a huge year for Pink. The first video off the album, for the
song "Stupid Girls," was shot by acclaimed director Dave Meyers.
The clip shreds everything Pink hates about superficial pop culture and
how it affects young girls' self-image. It is a challenge to women
everywhere to seek better role models than the "porno paparazzi
girls" with their "itsy bitsy doggies and their teenie weenie
tees," that our culture celebrates on TV and in magazines. The video
satirizes the cult of exercise-obsessed, calorie fearing, breast-augmented
human Barbie dolls everywhere.
MTV's
Overdrive, the broadband network, will exclusively premiere the full
length video for Pink's "Stupid Girl" on Thursday, January 26
after MTV's TRL teases fans with a 30 second clip. The video for
"Stupid Girls" will be available on demand on MTV Overdrive
exclusively for 24 hours. Pink is also scheduled to appear on MTV's TRL on
Monday, January 30. I'm Not Dead is also Pink's most confessional work to
date. Whether discussing heartbreak, childhood, doomed romance, fake
friends or the cult of celebrity, Pink states her mind with open-eyed
candor -- and two tons of attitude.
Pink
Executive Produced the album, Produced and wrote on every song, and was
joined by a host of talented collaborators. Producer/Songwriter Billy
Mann, Max Martin and Luke Gottwald lent their skills to several tracks, as
did singer/songwriter Butch Walker, hit maker Mike Elizondo and the iconic
duo The Indigo Girls. The resulting album has it all: rock and roll, soul
and funk, and 100 percent Pink.
Pink
has a lot to celebrate. She recently married her longtime boyfriend,
motocross legend Carey Hart in a small, secluded ceremony in Costa Rica,
and she's about to release an album that is something to be proud of --
its Pink pushing the envelope, yet again. "I'm Not Dead,"
indeed. World, you've been warned: the infamous Alecia Moore is back again
and this time she's better than ever.
