Totally tubular, dudes! Let's rap about Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors' from 1986. This gnarly sophomore album is like, a total mood ring for your ears! Remember how we all went bananas over 'She's So Unusual'? Well, Cyndi didn't just rest on her laurels - she cranked it up to 11 with this rad follow-up.
You know what's totally awesome? Cyndi produced this bad boy herself with Lennie Petze. Talk about girl power! The title track 'True Colors' is an anthem that'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like when you finally beat that impossible level in Pac-Man. And her cover of 'What's Going On'? It's so good, it'll make you wanna break out your best moonwalk!
'True Colors' hit number four on the Billboard 200 and went double platinum, which is, like, totally bodacious. It even outsold her debut in Japan - how's that for global domination? Cyndi's voice on this album is smoother than my favorite pair of parachute pants. It's like she leveled up and unlocked new vocal powers. This album proves that Cyndi Lauper isn't just a one-hit wonder - she's the real deal, as timeless as a John Hughes movie! - Beth
