In 1998, Mego released a vinyl single with the simple title “Fennesz - Plays”. And Fennesz played his versions of “Paint It Black” and “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)”, that is, Rolling Stones and Beach Boys. Now for our New York Homages project Fennesz plays again in 2017, this time Cyndi Lauper. “I played/interpreted parts of some songs my way, but in the end I focused mainly on ‘Time After Time’. Cyndi Lauper is a pop icon! I think she was originally more into punk, which I’ve always liked.”
