Music reviews of Cyndi Lauper: The Body Acoustic
Music Review: Still Unusual After All These Years
Rating: 5 Stars
I have fond memories of dancing to the vinyl of "She's So Unusual" as a child growing up in New York. Since that time, Cyndi has always held a special place in my heart. Her latest album is an acoustic reworking of highlights from her career. Quite simply it is the most refreshing album released in recent times.
Money Changes Everything with Adam Lazzara ****
-A wise choice to open the album as this song is given new life and Cyndi's voice takes center stage as the true force behind the album...the girl can sing ANYTHING! Adam Lazzara provides great backing vocals on this track. He usually is lead vocals for his band, Taking Back Sunday.
All Through The Night with Shaggy ***
-I go back and forth on the necessity of Shaggy on this track, personally I think he detracts from a solid rendition of "All Through The Night". Perhaps Shaggy is on there to help make it sound different from the original.
Time After Time with Sarah McLachlan ****
-OH MY GOD!!! Cyndi Lauper AND Sarah McLachlan singing one of the most wrenchingly beautiful songs of ALL TIME!!! This is simply an amazing track!
She Bop *****
-After repeated listens, this is the true stand out track for me! Unbelievably reworked from the original, She Bop (the infamous female masturbation song) becomes a gritty blues song about female sexuality. The levels this song possesses in this new version blows my mind. The song stays in your head long after you've listened it to it!
Above The Clouds with Jeff Beck ****
-One of the new tracks, it is a very solid "feel good about yourself" song that again features Cyndi's powerhouse vocals!
I'll Be Your River with Vivian Green ****
-The other new track that is beautiful. Though Cyndi's vocal talents are AMAZING, her lyrics are not far behind. What a heartfelt song that is truly a spirtual experience. Vivian Green is no stranger to strong supporting vocals as she started out as a backup vocalist for Jill Scott.
Sisters Of Avalon with Ani DiFranco and Vivian Green**
-Not my favorite Cyndi Lauper song, but it's tolerable here. The highlight is Ani DiFranco's short solo verse that just blows! The energy of the song carries it, but on an album of gems this is the closest thing to a misstep.
Shine ****
-One of the most encouraging songs ever written with Cyndi's vocals making you want to be a better person!
True Colors ****
-Again...encouraging...powerhouse vocals...great lyrics.
Water's Edge with Sarah McLachlan ***
-McLachlan and Lauper join forces again for this beautiful song from her blink and you missed it "Shine" EP. It is not as solid as her other ballads though.
Fearless ***
-Good song, but unforunately I don't make it this far in the CD very often because I keep starting from the beginning:-) However, I am listening to it right now and it is a solid song, a little different from all the other songs on here...in a good way. A very subtle and graceful vocal performance from Miss Lauper.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with Puffy Ami Yummi ****
-A great ska-like reworking of the song that put Cyndi on the map! Great energy although the inclusion of J-Pop group Puffy Ami Yummi is a little Gwen Stefani/Harajuka Girls-y to me, it is a solid ending to a solid album!!!
Cyndi Lauper has ONLY improved with age and has one of the most distinct and powerful voices in the world of music today! The girl can sing, play her own instruments, and write her own music! What an AMAZING album!!!
Peace Out,
JRamp
