No sound experiments, no overwhelming Star-ego and neither glamor: that's Ciny Lauper as they still makes very good, individual and rousing music today.
SHE`S SO UNUSUAL established an artist who was not only an exceptional phenomenon of their time but also -in contrast to the hyped competitive a bearable, even very nice and energetic vocals has.
This album is one of the very few milestones, which was invariably equipped with super hits. These songs are still running today on the radio every day and still we enjoy this freshness.
Money Changes EVERYTHING..jaja the money. In the 80s, even more important than it is today. Great text directly from life. Beautiful, catchy melody and great sung.
GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN sings of the new freedom nor female teenagers and is one of the songs, the impossible could ever be nachgesungen. It is also lyrically the human and "mature" counterpart to Prolo Firecracker Like A Virgin.
WHEN YOU WERE MINE, gecovert of Prince. And they did it: the copy actually sounds better than the original. Respect.
Time After Time is a perennial favorite on the radio. After more than 20 years. What Willmann more?
SHE BOP ...... because sindse again, the bad girls. Top.
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT also gets the full points. Who does not know? ;-)
Although Whitness, I`ll kiss you and YeahYeah are slower and less known, but no worse. Together 15 Points.
SHE`S SO UNUSUAL presented the small, yet enormous difference to other star of the 80s.
In addition, there is still the live versions of SHE BOP and ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. And when I write LIVE, I mean it that way. Top notch!
Few plates from the 80 managed to escape into the modern era. And even of those who did it, one is accustomed to a little patina.
SHE`S SO UNUSUAL constitutes a major exception and thus belongs to the immortal soundtrack a cheeky, yet "human" youth culture.
5 stars :-)
