Fans were taken aback by the downbeat, somber vibe. But to everyone’s shock, it was a totally different album. And the hits kept coming, from “She Bop” - one of the filthiest masturbation anthems ever to crash the Top Ten - and her gender-twisting vamp on the Prince deep cut “When You Were Mine.” Cyndi was America’s purple-haired sweetheart.įlashback: Tina Turner Covers Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson on Debut Solo Albumīy ’86, the whole world was waiting for her follow-up, True Colors, which dropped three years to the day after She’s So Unusual. The media adored her flamboyant humor, her fashion quirks, her stable of pro-wrestler friends.
She ruled MTV with “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” “Time After Time,” and “Money Changes Everything,” becoming an instant hero to weird-haircut kids everywhere. She made one of the Eighties’ most beloved albums with her debut, She’s So Unusual - an arty New Wave goof that somehow blew up into a monster pop mega-hit. Lauper might be taking the world by surprise with this news, but that’s her specialty. She’s also sharing her own custom “True Colors” Instagram filter. And to mark the occasion, she’s dropping a new expanded digital version at midnight Friday, featuring two bonus tracks: Junior Vasquez’s remix of the title track, a Number One single in 1986, and its long-lost B-side, “Heading for the Moon,” which never made it to streaming services until now. Cyndi Lauper is celebrating the 35th anniversary of her iconic sophomore album, True Colors, which came out on October 14th, 1986.
