During 2008 Pop music icon Cyndi Lauper has won critical acclaim for her latest album, embarked on her 6^th world tour to sold out audiences and now has a No.1 hit in the UK’s Commercial Pop Top 30. This comes the week before Cyndi is due to kick off the UK leg of her tour on Friday 10^th October in Manchester and ending in Dublin on the 18^th October.

The new album ‘Bring Ya Back To The Brink’  features collaborations with top producers; Basement Jaxx, Kleerup (UK No.1 Single ‘With Every Heartbeat’ feat. Robyn), Axwell (known for his club remixes of The Clipse, Madonna and Nelly Furtado), The Scum Frog (Britney Spears and David Bowie), and electro pop band Dragonette. 

On Bring Ya To The Brink Cyndi maintains her total immersion in the creative process, co-writing and co-producing every track. The album showcases an edgy new sound evident on this first single, Into The Lightlife co-produced with Peer Astrom who has written and produced for Madonna, Celine Dion and Enrique Iglesias. The 12 songs on Bring Ya To The Brink showcase Cyndi’s matured songwriting while taking her music in an exciting new direction.  "This is an album that can be experienced in two completely different ways," Cyndi says, explaining that Bring Ya To The Brink is, "A dance album that you can move to and enjoy on a surface level. But if you want more than that, there's a lot to discover inside the lyrics… these songs get pretty deep."
