BACK FROM THE BRINK


Album of the week (and possibly month), surprisingly, goes to Cyndi Lauper who has released an absolutely stonking CD called "Bring Ya To The Brink".  After years of relative obscurity, Cyndi has put her voice to work on an album of dance tracks produced by some of the hottest names around: Kleerup, Basement Jaxx, Scumfrog, Dragonette and Axwell.  See, I'm down with the kids.  Anyway, avoiding the *cough* obvious links with people like Timbersnake has meant this is actually a really fresh and unique sounding album.  Everyone in New York was talking about it, particularly as the lead video had been filmed last week in a gay bar round the corner from our hotel!  Even if you only remember Cyndi Lauper for the awful girls just wanna have fun, check out the previews on iTunes or Amazon as you will be surprisingly impressed.
