Bring Ya To The Brink!


Cyndi Lauper is back with a dance album! Yay! After vague folk and retro tentatives, Cyndi Lauper goes back to her first love with ol'fashioned well produced dance music. The crème of European electro producers accepted Miss Lauper's invitation: The Scumfrog, Basement Jaxx, Digital Dog, Axwell, but also Dragonette and New York based Richard Morel.


An upbeat album that seriously rejuvenate Lauper's sound, even if the singer still signs the lyrics. Perfect timing for the release during the Pride month. We know how Cyndi Lauper has been deeply connected to the gay community since the 1980s with her statements: her True Colors tour reunited many great gay and lesbian artists for charity concerts across the US.







"Into The Nightlife", the album's second single

Cyd Charisse (1922-2008)


The extraordinary dancer Gene Kelly had chosen for the legendary final ballet scene "Broadway Melody" of Singin' In The Rain died yesterday at age 86, in Los Angeles.
The 50 films Cyd Charisse leaves behind, many musicals from the MGM golden age, still remain a wonderful homage to the now deceased star.



So weird...
