She\u2019s So Unusual: A 30th Anniversary Celebration"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Cyndi<\/a>The 1980s sucked. Thank you, and good night.<\/p>\n

In the lazy manner of collective memory, that\u2019s been the default reaction about the \u201980s, arguably since… the \u201980s. Of course that\u2019s myopic nonsense, but now as some of the veterans of the \u201cMTV Decade\u201d are hitting the (gasp) 30-year mark, it\u2019s a good time to take a deeper look back. A perfect case subject is Cyndi Lauper, whose debut album, She\u2019s So Unusual<\/i>, has hit the 30-year marker. (It actually hit that milestone on October 14 of last year.) But no need to dig out the tape deck as Legacy Recordings has recently released the two-disc She\u2019s So Unusual: A 30th Anniversary Celebration<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The one big thing that seems to get overlooked when looking back at the \u201980s is that it was a truly and deeply weird time. It was a time when the champions of de-evolution, Devo, had a Honda scooter television commercial, and the Talking Heads were a Top 40 band. The influence of MTV can\u2019t be overstated, but it was truly a time when the rules were changing and everything was being thrown up against the wall to see what stuck. While people bemoaned the idea that the visuals were as important as the music (heaven forbid), it was also a chance to spark interest in something that might not pop as strongly purely on radio. In a case of right place, right time came Lauper and She\u2019s So Unusual<\/i>. If she didn\u2019t exist then, someone would have had to create her. The thick Nooo Yawk accent, crossed with Bettie Boop via Gracie Allen wrapped up in a punkish, New Wave, thrift-store package, Lauper seemed to arrive fully formed from the head of Athena. Having already spent an unsuccessful stint in a band called Blue Angel, Lauper was 30 when her debut dropped, so she didn\u2019t have to fool around with what or who she wanted to be\u2014she already knew\u2014and the result is a record just as sure of itself.<\/p>\n

Collective amnesia has placed Lauper as a \u201cone, maybe two-hit wonder.\u201d The truth is that She\u2019s So Unusual<\/i> spawned five singles with four landing in the top five on the singles chart, making her the first female in history to achieve that honor. Then there was the small manner that the record has sold 6 million copies in the US alone and more than 16 million total worldwide. There\u2019s a reason why you can still go to any \u201980s night in the country and hear \u201cGirls Just Wanna Have Fun.\u201d Its not as acknowledged, but the video is as iconic as any of the recognized canon of Madonna, Prince, or Michael Jackson. Perhaps it\u2019s that Lauper was more the wacky next-door neighbor than otherworldly savant, inscrutable alien. or sexbomb, but she was just as important as the rest of the MTV icons.<\/p>\n

Musically, it\u2019s almost hard to listen to the singles with fresh ears because they\u2019ve been omnipresent for such a long amount of time. But as a complete body of work, She\u2019s So Unusual<\/i> is probably weirder than remembered. There are, of course, the unmistakable production and technology touches of the time that anchor the record in the decade with extreme prejudice. If you ever wanted a textbook example of gated \u201980s drums, this record is a master class, and there seems to be no place that a synthesizer can\u2019t fit. But outside of those \u201cfuturistic\u201d touches that now seem quaint, there are a lot of things that now sound curiously forward-thinking. Lauper took new wave and smashed it together with a pop sensibility, and that collision led to some rather unusual arrangements and instrumentation. The background instruments in \u201cShe Bop\u201d alone need a whiteboard and flow chart just to make sense of it. With a minor bit of tweaking, it could be something that came out during the classic era of DFA. There\u2019s also an interesting undercurrent of ska rhythms that float through the record. It could be the influence of the Police or the rise of reggae among the in-the-know session players, but it seems like its been hiding in plain sight these 30 years.<\/p>\n

Vocally, Lauper is something else. Perhaps if someone like her would try to compete in the pop arena today she would be steamrolled into submission. But here, her quirkiness predates Bjork before the world could even imagine that a Bjork would be a thing it would know about. (Also, I\u2019d pay good money to hear Bjork cover She\u2019s So Unusual<\/i> in its entirety.) Full of mannerisms and unique phrasing on \u201cYeah Yeah,\u201d Lauper\u2019s a one-woman tour de force. However, such idiosyncrasies aren\u2019t just for the hell of it. She twists her delivery in service of the song, just the way she allows her vocals to float through the aether of \u201cTime After Time,\u201d sometimes not even finishing each thought. She doesn\u2019t just sing the song, but interprets the words.<\/p>\n

Arguably the greatest triumph of the album is how cannily Lauper shaped her universe. Over half of the record and three of the singles are covers. Robert Hazard originally did \u201cGirls Just Want to Have Fun\u201d in 1979; \u201cAll Through The Night\u201d was originally recorded by one of Lauper\u2019s co-writers, Jules Shear; and \u201cMoney Changes Everything\u201d was a 1980 single by Atlanta-based rockers The Brains. Other covers include \u201cYeah Yeah\u201d by Swedish singer\/songwriter Mikael Rickfors, \u201cWhen You Were Mine\u201d by Prince, and the track from which the album generated its name, \u201cHe\u2019s So Unusual,\u201d a song from the late 1920s performed by Helen Kane, who was the inspiration for the Betty Boop character. The unsung genius was that Lauper was able to interpret all the songs in a manner that not only seemed to form a complete snapshot of her as a musician, but all seemed to come from the same pen. The body of songs forms a complete album and not a collection of singles. It\u2019s something that even people who write their entire albums have trouble accomplishing.<\/p>\n

This new edition of She\u2019s So Unusual <\/i>comes with bonus features both good and bad. It\u2019s best to avoid the three remixes tacked to the end of the first disc. Clearly it was an attempt to hook the \u201ckids\u201d with some EDM, but the overall results are deeply shrug-worthy. Instead, move to the second disc that has a 1984 Arthur Baker remix of \u201cShe Bop,\u201d along with demos, rehearsal takes, a live track, and a B-side. Revisiting this record may not change your mind about the decade from which it came, but it will reveal one of the most perfectly executed debut albums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
