Fantastic!

A tremendous album featuring incredible solos on Cornflake Girl, rats crawling all over her in God, and the beautiful Pretty Good Year (the one with the weird dancing). As usual, it’s pretty f-ucking impossible to make out what the hell she’s talking about, but after the music, you won’t really care. The only thing I can tell you is that the Pink in the title refers to her skin, so Under the Pink is a reference to ideas, thoughts, emotions - the things that make up a human being. Cornflake Girl is a song about the concept of women abandoning fellow women - it’s said that she was inspired by the Alice Walker book Possessing the secret of Joy, about clitoral removal in Africa, where women carry out this horrible practice on other women, therefore the ’’she’s gone to the other side’’ in the song. Ugh! Hopefully those people have stopped, her music is enough to make people do that. Whatever, enjoy! :)
