Hi,
What does the pattern 'it's true that...but...' mean in the sentence? When would you use this pattern?

1. "It's true that the singer is beautiful, but she can't sing."

Do the two sentences below mean the same?

2. It's true that he's very hard-working, but I still don't think he's the right man for the job.
Although he's very hard-working, I still don't think he's the right man for the job.

Thank you.
