Wow. 20 years since I released my #AtLast album!
When I was a kid and used to wait for the A train on Liberty Avenue and 104th Street to go to school, there was a poster in the train station of this beautiful woman with blonde hair, Etta James.
When I interpreted “At Last,” I remembered how you could feel the sway of the train’s trestles when it was approaching, so I asked my accompanist and the person I arranged the music with, Steve Gaboury, to re-create that feel with the rhythms because piano is a rhythm instrument. It almost seemed that he breathed with the piano—in and out to the rhythm of the trestles that moved against the wind as the train came into the station. And at that point I stepped off the platform to sing the first line of the song.
When singing ballads I always feel that you have to turn yourself inside out and most of my work on At Last was a combination of singing with power and revisiting the power of a whisper.
Hey everyone! It’s the 40th anniversary of “She’s So Unusual!” Can you believe it? First off, I want to say thank you for all the love you’ve given me and this album over the years. What a way to have kicked off my solo career!
We’ve got a bunch of different ways to celebrate:
🎶 You can grab your copy of the album and listen, maybe post a pic so I can share (be sure to tag me).
🔵 You can order the limited edition #RecordStoreDay Essentials blue vinyl. I’ll link everything in my bio.
🎧 You can listen to the album in Spatial Audio now on all DSPs.
👂🏼 Also new to DSPs as of today for the first time: the original The Best Remixes EP which were originally released as a CD exclusively in Japan back in 1989.
And finally, a bit of news: There are 4 new certifications ready with the RIAA for the album:
💿 “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” is now 6X platinum
💿”Time After Time” is now 5X platinum
💿 “All Through The Night” is now Gold
💿 “She’s So Unusual is now 7X platinum
All thanks to you! I’m so grateful. I have to best fans in the world! 😘 And thank you to everyone who worked on this album with me 🙏
