Icon Cooks Up Fresh Versions of Big Hits on New Album
The Body Acoustic
Special Guests Include Sarah McLachlan, Shaggy,
Jeff Beck, Ani Difranco and Vivian Green
When Cyndi Lauper emerged on the scene twenty five years ago, it was a
defining moment for pop music. And since then, her contributions have
never
stopped - album after album, Cyndi has delivered hit songs that literally
comprise the soundtrack of our lives. And this fall Cyndi prepares to
release her 9th album The Body Acoustic with Daylight/Epic Records on
November 8th. On The Body Acoustic Cyndi revisits songs like "Time After
Time," "True Colors," "She Bop," "****ne," and more giving them a modern
day
extreme makeover. Adding fresh flavor, rich textures, rawness and
unexpected
twists and turns - plus special guests like Sarah McLachlan, Shaggy, Kelly
Osbourne, Ani DiFranco, Jeff Beck and Vivian Green - Cyndi shows her
singing, producing and writing talents at an all time high.
On "Money Changes Everything" Cyndi is joined by Adam Lazzara of Taking
Back
Sunday who gives the song a twangy earthy quality. "Time After Time"
features the angelic voice of Sarah McLachlan, who brings a new tenderness
to the gem. Reggae/pop superstar Shaggy lends his trademark voice on the
newly funky "All Through The Night," while Kelly Osbourne joins in on the
fun on "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Other highlights include "Sisters of
Avalon" with Ani DiFranco & Vivian Green, and "Water's Edge" (from the
2002
EP ****ne) w/ Sarah McLachlan. With her unique vocals, Cyndi continues to
spice things up with fresh versions of such hits as "****ne," "Fearless,"
"She Bop" and "True Colors." The album also contains two brand new songs
co-written by Cyndi Lauper, "Above The Clouds" featuring guitar legend
Jeff
Beck and "I'll Be Your River" with Vivian Green. The Body Acoustic was
produced by Cyndi herself along with renowned producers Rick Chertoff
(She's
So Unusual) and William Wittman (At Last) and the result is nothing short
of
spectacular.
The vibrant talent of Cyndi Lauper has graced our world for 25 years.
Beginning in 1980 Cyndi and her band at the time, Blue Angel released a
self-titled album but in 1983 as many artists do, Cyndi decided to depart
the group and take on the world as a solo artist. It was in 1984 with the
release of her debut album, She's So Unusual that Cyndi scored massive
success - 9 million copies sold worldwide - and quite literally became an
overnight success. She's So Unusual was the first debut album and the
first
debut album by a solo artist to garner four top five singles, "Girls Just
Want To Have Fun," "All Through The Night," "She Bop," and "Time After
Time." She's So Unusual earned Cyndi a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
And
this was just the beginning....
From there Cyndi went on to release and co-produce True Colors, of which
came it's #1 title track, and another Grammy nomination for the artist.
Three years later in 1989, A Night To Remember was born on which Cyndi
wrote
or co-wrote eight of the eleven tracks and co-produced most of the album
herself. A Hat Full Of Stars, Sisters Of Avalon, Merry Xmas Have a Nice
Life, ****ne and Cyndi's most recent critically acclaimed 2003 release, At
Last all followed suit.
In addition to proving herself as a Grammy-winning artist, Cyndi Lauper
has
spent much of the past twenty-five years as a devoted advocate and
philanthropist for such organizations as AMFAR, Aids Research, Planned
Parenthood, Women's Rights as well as for Gay communities all over the
world. She has been twice nominated for the Emmy Award - has won once -
and
has established herself as one of America's most loved fa****on icons.
