WE: It seems like you always have a lot of projects in motion. Anything else you are working on? RM: One of the things I?m doing now is my work with Cyndi Lauper. I wrote a bunch of songs with her for a new musical called Kinky Boots. Cyndi is releasing one of the ones we wrote together this summer as a single. It?s called ?The Sex Is in the Heel.? I think the musical opens in Chicago this November before it goes to New York. It?s a great song and I?m psyched about it. WE: It sounds like you love working with her. RM: When you work with someone like Cyndi there?s two things. One is her voice, when you work with someone that?s that caliber of a singer it?s a whole different world. She?s such a presence vocally it?s a joy to work with her. She?s also really funny. It?s win win. WE: It must be great to work with someone who has such a powerful voice. RM: It?s funny you?re listening to the monitors and she?s standing right there and it just comes out so right on. She has a lot of control over her voice. I work with a lot of rock musicians, like Brendan, and the stuff I do, which can be equally powerful, but it?s just a different thing. Cyndi?s voice is so iconic though. It?s great. I feel lucky to have hooked up with her in that capacity.
