Cyndi Lauper has gathered in this new acoustic work some of her greatest hits, a handful of newer songs, and two new tracks. She chose as her adventure companions Sarah McLachlan, Ani Di Franco, Jeff Beck, Shaggy, Vivian Green, Puffy Ami Yumi, and Adam Lazzara.
The anthem to masturbation "She Bop" has become a slow, soft, enveloping track. And the other tracks, "True Colors", "All Through The Night", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", were transformed into timeless little gems.
If you were stuck in the '80s Cyndi Lauper, if you stopped at the appearance, at her strange way of dressing and styling, listen to this album.
Cyndi Lauper has talent to spare, she is one of the most underrated artists in the music field. Listen to "Above The Clouds" with Jeff Beck's guitar or linger on "Water's Edge", with the ethereal vocal lines of Sarah McLachlan: a masterpiece.
Cyndi's voice is always that gritty and sweet at the same time, capable of entertaining and moving.
The album was also released in a Dual disc version with some videos and extras.
