Music legend Cyndi Lauper has revealed plans to work on a country record in the very near future, which she admitted will be out next year. 

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the UK premiere of her musical 'Kinky Boots' at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End last night (September 15), the icon explained that she has lots of musical ambitions to fulfil and she will start with recording and releasing a country album:

"I don't know if you listen to country music but I want to work with Seymour Stein - he was the co-founder of Sire Records - and I've always wanted to work with him. So I figure while I've still got teeth in my mouth let me go work with him!"

"I also want to work with Tony Brown down in Nashville and do a country record, finally! I want to record all those songs I used to sing my guts out in my apartment to! It'll be out next year."

Lauper also declared herself a huge fan of British songstress Paloma Faith, adding: "I like Paloma Faith, I think she's awesome. But I like a lot of different kinds of music, not just one kind. I like to research music."
