No one has exposed the good, bad and ugly sides of love quite so well as Alecia Moore, the commanding songstress currently known as Pink. And in light of the romantic rollercoaster she’s been ridden over the past four years – separating from longtime flame Carey Hart and writing a record about it, then going through the courting process all over again and having a kid with her (sort of) ex amid their reconciliation – who knows better all the multi-faceted turns love can take? Pink continued the trend of angst-ridden pop in her sixth studio album, 2012’s
The Truth About Love, and brings her high-flying acrobatics to Tampa in support. Here’s hoping she tries to “Get the Party Started” with a few of her pre-baby, old-school hits. Swedish garage rockers/post-punk revivalists The Hives open the show.
