''Shine'' is the eighth studio album by American singer Cyndi Lauper, released exclusively in Japan in 2004.〔 The album was ready for release in 2001 but Edel Records, the label it was recorded with, folded. The leaked tracks from a demonstration disc quickly circulated on the Internet and by 2002 Lauper realized there was no point in trying to release it in a widespread fashion. Two EPs were released instead: One was also called "Shine" and the other was called "Shine Remixes".〔http://www.amazon.com/Shine-Remix-Ep-Cyndi-Lauper/dp/B002EPXJKW〕 The "Shine EP" has sold 41,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album expounds on the sound Lauper developed with her 1997 album ''Sisters of Avalon''. Mostly pop songs, it flirts with electronica and new wave while incorporating traditional instruments like sitars and fiddles. The songs are not lyrically linked, and explore themes ranging from the Madonna-Whore Complex to celebrity life. The track "It's Hard to be Me" was penned about Anna Nicole Smith; Smith attempted to buy it as the theme song to her reality show, but Lauper declined. In 2010, Lauper did allow the independently produced television pilot ''Hard to Be Me'' use the track for its theme song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Filmmaker with Wausau roots brings TV pilot back to central Wisconsin )〕 ==Track listing== ;EP version (2002) #"Shine" #"It's Hard to Be Me" #"Madonna Whore" #"Water's Edge" #"Shine" (Illicit Mix) ;Remixes version (2003) #"Shine (Tracy Young Mix)" #"Shine (Tracy Young Instrumental)" #"Shine (Illicit Mix)" #"Shine (Illicit Instrumental)" #"Shine (Acapella)" #"Higher Plane (Bonus Track)" ;LP version (2004) #"Shine" (Cyndi Lauper, William Wittman) #"It's Hard to Be Me" (Lauper, Rob Hyman, Wittman) #"Madonna Whore" (Lauper, Wittman) #"Wide Open" (Lauper, Jan Pulsford) #"Rather Be with You" (Lauper, Doc Fleming, Marcello Nines) #"Who Let in the Rain" (Lauper, Alley Willis) #"Comfort You" (Lauper, Pulsford) #"Eventually" (Lauper, Ryuichi Sakamoto) #"Waiting For Valentino" (Lauper, Pulsford) #"This Kind of Love" (Lauper, Nines) #"Higher Plane" (Lauper, Pulsford) (Misspelled on CD as "Higher Place") #"Water's Edge" (Lauper, Hyman) #"I Miss My Baby" (Lauper, Pulsford) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shine (Cyndi Lauper album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
