Cyndi Lauper was recently interviewed by Rolling Stone about her upcoming country album 'Detour,' as well as other moments in the span of her star-studded career as a pop singer. Lauper reflected on being new to the music scene and the marketing of her image, stating, "The suits would say to me, "Your image is so big, I can't hear you sing." But those are corporate people who don't understand performance art. There was a time, around the early Nineties, when they kept telling me, "Your true colors should just shine from the inside," and I got plainer and plainer and plainer. I looked at myself in the mirror and said, "Who...are you?" I think I was floundering. When I met Lady Gaga [in 2009], I think I woke up. 'I'll have freaking colored hair when I want!'"
