Cyndi Lauper
True Colors
Genre: Pop
2.5 out of 5
Requisite 80s coverS:
“What’s Going On”. There’s machine guns! Why are there machine guns!?!? This. Is. Bad.
“Iko Iko”. Another unkillable song that makes me think…why didn’t B-52s cover this???
Highlights:
True Colors
You know what song I loved that is really cliche? “Time After Time”. That one gets me right in the feels.
Why bring that up? Because I feel like the title track here is an attempt to recreate that. Still, it’s a Billy Steinberg joint and you know why it’s good. You can’t kill that track. And, you know what? I think that song works in every decade. But, mostly I think it’s very much what the sound of solo artists will be in the 90s. It’s a timeless ballad that is, weirdly, ahead of it’s time.
