Cyndi Lauper has signed with Daylight/Epic to put together a new album of
"torch
songs" called Naked City. This expressive style suits her voice and
emotional
involvement well. If you are one of those who has kind of forgotten Cyndi,
why
not check her out again? She has moved beyond the bubble girl world for
awhile,
good as she was putting that out for a time. I have always found her
fascinating, and now, certainly more interesting than the pop princesses
or even
the other good old girls.
Cyndi says: "...these songs are stories of the people from when I grew up.
I
watched all these women and all the things that were important to them.
...I
wanted to make sure that I put a little sense of humanity back in the
world
that's surgically enhanced - I mean the music, not the people. That's what
I was
born to do here, and that's what I feel is my path. That's something I can
contribute."
