Try This is the third studio album by Pink, released in November 2003 on LaFace Records / Arista Records and produced by Tim Armstrong of Rancid. The album was a harder, punk-influenced departure from the pop-rock accessibility of Missundaztood, reflecting Pink's ongoing desire to push against commercial expectations. 'Trouble' became a top-ten hit in several countries and the album earned a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, though it sold significantly fewer copies than its predecessor. Tim Armstrong's guitar-heavy production gave the record a loose, underground feel that appealed to rock fans while still retaining enough pop shine to chart globally. Try This remains a fascinating statement of artistic defiance that traded mass appeal for creative credibility.
