Funnel Of LoveCyndi Lauper

It’s a song that starts right from the intro and is sprinkled with her signature style.

I think it came out around the time she had gotten quite used to things.

The arrangement has changed significantly as well.

It feels distinctly modern, and I find it interesting in its own way.

It goes straight into the A-melody from the intro.

She’s a truly powerful vocalist, so I think she has enough vocal strength not to be overshadowed by the backing track.

There might be a funky, dance-music vibe right from the start, and overall it’s a poppy, enjoyable piece from beginning to end.

I Drove All NightCyndi Lauper

This song feels great, with a liberating rush when it moves from the solemn, cello-laden opening lines into the chorus.

Written by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, it was performed by Cyndi Lauper in her own distinctive style.

I Will FollowCyndi Lauper

It starts with a band arrangement in the intro, and from the A section onward, the powerful voice holds its own without getting buried by the strong band sound.

It reminded me of arrangements from classic prog.

It made me expect that the other tracks on this album will be enjoyable as well.

It is included on the third album, “A Night to Remember,” released in 1990.

“Primitive” has various meanings such as “primitive,” “naive,” and “simple,” and the lyrics seem to be about a romantic relationship between a man and a woman.

Kinky Boots: Lola’s World (The BEST Lola)Cyndi Lauper

Kinky Boots, the Broadway musical etched in many people’s memories as one of Haruma Miura’s signature works.

The story depicts a men’s shoe factory on the brink of bankruptcy turning its business around after meeting the drag queen, Lola.

This piece is The Land of Lola, used during Lola’s entrance scene.

It’s a song that conveys the glamour and strength of drag queens.

It’s an impressive track that blends the hallmarks of Cindy Lauper—who could be called a master craftsperson of pop music—with elements of gospel.

All Through the NightCyndi Lauper

It jumps straight from the intro into the first verse, so you can enjoy it right away.

It’s crafted so you can listen comfortably up to the chorus.

When the second verse comes in, the enjoyment doubles, creating a flow that keeps you looking forward to what’s next, with a pop feel throughout.
