Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso (photo by Shervin Lainez, PR) LISTEN by 6.14.21 12:00am June is Pride month and for Album ReCue, WFUV has asked LGBTQ+ musicians to tell us about their most loved albums — those releases that inspired, soothed, empowered or galvanized them as artists. Amelia Meath of Cyndi Lauper's 1983 solo debut, She's So Unusual. Listen to Alisa Ali's conversation with Meath in the player above. Sylvan Esso's Amelia Meath says that she became attached to Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual before she'd even heard it. It was the photo of a carefree Lauper cavorting on the album's cover that drew her in. Meath, who was still quite young at the time, thought Lauper looked like "a stone-cold-hot-queer freak," and she just "really really liked this person."
