Before: Cyndi! Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Cyndi! Now, she's putting on a show in Las Vegas Cyndi. She's in Cyn Cyty. Lololol okay let's go!
After: I think this would make excellent 80s prom music. She has a talent for singing, for sure.
I'm almost feeling some ska... The Dirty Heads, 301, Sublime come to mind?
I love how, in "I'll Kiss You", she manages to partially sing, partially exclaim-speak while sounding like such a GIRL. She spews her voice across the song in phrases and solo words, all backed up by a very regular beat.
"He's So Unusual" has an introduction that solidifies that it's not him but her who's so unusual! She does this contortion with her voice that sounds like the vortex of voice in the B-52's "Rock Lobster".
Very short album. I'd prescribe it if you were in deficit of:
-Valley Girl stereotype
-Uber girly yet surprisingly wise lyrics (some songs)
-an idea of her music other than "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Time After Time"
-spice in your life
Thanks for the art, Cyndi, but you were so-so. You're definitely something, though, so don't lose hope.
