Hearing the radio today I immediately fell in love with a new song from Alecia Beth Moore alias Pink. Different to previous Pink songs “What about us” is now almost a dance song with beautiful melodic phases throughout the whole song. Co-written by Johnny McDaid (who produced e.g. for Snow Patrol, Paul van Dyk and Ed Sheeren) and Steve McCutcheon (who also produced for Ed Sheeran and e.g. Robin Schulz and Clean Bandit), this song has a wonderful build-up phase with a low-pass filtered piano and then releases its full power after the break at 2:32 min. The original video distracts too much from the music and could have been even more in a dance style but the lyrics video is just perfect, it keeps the focus on the music. Great work of Alecia, Johnny and Steve!
What about…
A beautiful cover version of this song is done by Daniel Brake. With his piano phrasing he generates a beautiful atmosphere, keeping the piano roots of the original version.
