Said Lauper, reflecting on True Colors, “I’m grateful to the fans for embracing the range on the True Colors album – from ‘True Colors’ to ‘Boy Blue’ to ‘Change of Heart’ and my ‘What’s Going On’ cover. Yea, I took some risks. I wanted to grow. I was always hoping to become a great artist. To be remembered as someone who tried to push the boundaries a little. I’m lucky to have had partners and fans who embraced what I was doing. You start out wanting to make good music and you hope, also, to make a difference in people’s lives and do something forward in music. I didn’t know if I could, but I tried and people heard me. Thankfully.”
