"Hat Full of Stars" is the fourth solo studio album released by Cyndi Lauper.

Album information

Issued in 1993 it deviated from her pop-rock sound of previous projects and delved heavily into R&B. It also furthered Lauper's growing penchant for writing topical songs about social issues; thematically it was inspired by her childhood in the 1950s in Brooklyn.

The album was co-produced by dance-music artist Junior Vasquez and is highly typical of his work of the time. As such many of the songs are held together by synthetic loops and percussion. Lyrics address issues like abortion ("Sally's Pigeons"), racism ("A Part Hate") and spousal abuse ("Product of Misery" and "Broken Glass").

The album was successful internationally, selling in excess of four million copies. It achieved Gold sales in France and multi-platinum sales in Japan (where her albums routinely sell extremely well.) However it was considered a commercial disappointment in the United States, despite glowing critical review, it received little or no promotion, and it subsequently stalled at #112 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. The singles "That's What I Think," "Sally's Pigeons," "Hat Full of Stars" and "Who Let in the Rain" were released; the latter of which was re-recorded in 2001 for her album "Shine".

Lauper has commented that she wishes that her vocals on the project had been sharper. She worked with a vocal coach to sharpen her vocals for her next studio album "Sisters of Avalon", and mentions this in the liner notes.

The album was recorded at the Hit Factory, Sigma Sound, Messina Sound, Right Track, The Enchanted Cottage, The Ranch, and World Famous Orbit Sound.
