Cyndi Lauper
Bring Ya to the Brink
Album - Pop, Music, Dance, Pop/Rock, Electronic
Cyndi Lauper added the 21st century to her era-spanning repertoire with this 2008 album, which pairs her versatile voice with of-the-moment producers. The plush clamor of the Kleerup-produced “Lay Me Down” highlights her world-weary vocal; the Basement Jaxx collaboration “Rocking Chair” updates the sly innuendo of “She Bop” and adds a skeletal yet giddy instrumental; “Same Ol’ Story” straddles disco’s strings and synths eras with aplomb while Lauper growls poison-pen lyrics. This fun, beat-heavy collection cements Lauper’s status as a timeless pop star.
