Review
You know, there's something magical about Cyndi Lauper's 'She's So Unusual' that still gives me goosebumps, even after all these years. When I first heard it, I was blown away by how Cyndi could effortlessly hop from one style to another, like a musical chameleon. Her voice is like a Swiss Army knife - it can do anything! One minute she's belting out Prince's 'When You Were Mine' with raw emotion, and the next she's grooving to the reggae beats of 'Witness'. It's like she's taking us on a wild musical journey, and I'm here for every second of it.
What really gets me about this album is how unapologetically Cyndi it is. She's not trying to fit into anyone's box - she's creating her own, and it's decked out in neon colors and quirky accessories. The way she expresses herself so freely on this record is honestly inspiring. It makes me want to embrace my own weirdness and let it shine. And let's not forget the impact this album had - four top-five singles from a debut album by a female artist? That was groundbreaking stuff back in '83!
It's no wonder 'She's So Unusual' has stood the test of time. The Library of Congress didn't preserve it for nothing! This album isn't just a collection of catchy tunes - it's a cultural phenomenon that's inspired countless artists and fans. Every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm tapping into a piece of music history. And you know what? It still sounds as fresh and exciting as it did 40 years ago. That's the mark of a truly special album. - Lexi
