Hat Full Of Stars
“Nearly 10 years ago, Cyndi Lauper broke new ground as a zestful, zany pop diva with her hit-packed debut, She’s So Unusual. Now, with her fourth — and most ambitious — album, Hat Full of Stars, a more serious Lauper has returned with a fresh sound that mixes ’60s soul, ’70s funk, ’80s pop and […]”

But the ever-unusual Cyndi Lauper now sings with more power, more nuance and with more notes at her disposal than she had at her mid-Eighties popularity peak. The former New Wave poster girl’s The Body Acoustic brings hard-won beauty […]”
