He s So Unusual it a delightfully frothy
tynth-pop record. With Cyndi Lauper'»
chirpy girl-group harmonies, and a smat¬
tering of electric guitars and synthesisers
that suggest a cross between the Cart and
a host of tbe latest English Invasion, this
album makes the Go-Gos — and most
other female singers — tound positively
boring by comparison.
But the goofy cheesiness of He's So

lyricaltouches and clever arrangements,
thereby winding up sounding like a great

production of Rick Cbertoff and tome
