Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Japanese pressing of Cyndi Lauper's 2008 album featuring two bonus tracks: 'Got Candy' and 'Can't Breathe'. Bring Ya To The Brink is Cyndi's first album of new material in 12 years. Sony. 2008.

Amazon.com:
The idea of '80s superstar Cyndi Lauper releasing a straight dance record might sound dubious, but this is no opportunistic vanity project. Lauper has kept busy since her "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" heyday (see 2005's better than it had to be The Body Acoustic), and so Bring Ya To The Brink has no rust on it. That's not to say it doesn't have a certain rave-retro sound, with Day-Glo synths and White-Man's-Overbite drum machine beats. But there is also sleek, modern production, and Lauper's gift for delivering fun, celebratory hooks serves her well in this forum (good luck resisting the chorus of "Into the Nightlife," for one example). Her brassy demeanor comes through too, another attribute that seems tailor-made for the dance floor. The f-bomb in "Same Old Story" sounds bold and empowering in the best disco tradition, while "Lay Me Down" has a street-of-broken-dreams grit under its swanky rhythms. Lauper doesn't do anything ground-breaking here in the slightest, but like fellow '80s refugee Madonna, her personality and ability to convincingly play DJ allows her to stay relevant well past the sell-by date of most pop stars. --Matthew Cooke

- Amazing comeback!
While Madonna has been confessing on the dance floor for years, but when Cyndi Lauper finally got on it, it sounds like she's truly born again.

Some of the most amazing singing I've heard on a dance track in years. Nice job Cyndi!

- BYTTB TKO Hard Candy
Cyndi's Bring ya to the Brink is far better than Madonna's Hard Candy. Cyndi's finally back at the Disco and that is where she is at her best. All the songs here are great; the best track is Into the Nightlife. Put this cd in and put on your dancin shoes cause you just can't help but dance to every song on this cd. Cyndi Rocks!!!!!!

- This New C.L. CD
I think this cd samples sounds great. But I think Madonna and Cyndi sound good, But, Madonna is my favorite since I was 4.
I'm not really a Cyndi fan, but, i like this CD and would want to get it, cause I like dance music, and sounds kinda punk.
I'm into punk nd my mom dosent think I am. Cause I'm almost 30. but I think I can be anything I want.
I diffanly want to get this cd.
But, i heard it first here.

- Sterling Effort From One Of Pop's Most Underrated Artists
Hard to believe it's been twenty five years since Cyndi Lauper burst onto the scene with "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Even harder to believe her career trajectory, especially considering another young singer who surfaced around that time(and was considered even more of a flash in the pan than Lauper) went on to become the most successful female artist of all time. Yep, while Madonna went on to basically conquer the pop world, Lauper(a far more gifted vocalist) went on to release so-so albums(uh A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, "I Drove All Night" and "Heading West" notwithstanding) and act in REALLY bad movies (VIBES anyone? Didn't think so). So it's utterly refreshing to report that in BRING YA TO THE BRINK, Lauper has released easily her best album since SHE'S SO UNUSUAL and one of the best dance ... Read More
