Pink's new single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" (RCA), finds her on the leading edge of radio pop once again. While so many of her contemporaries have caught up with the four-on-the-floor hybrid pop of "Raise Your Glass," Pink zooms even further out to embrace some chiming indie-rock guitar (think Modest Mouse's "Float On") while trying to make a relationship on the verge of collapse still sound cheerful. It's a high-wire act that few can accomplish, but she manages it stylishly and memorably.
