Lauper went on to reveal her personal Top Tunes Spotify playlist, which is now linked to her Instagram bio. The list not only contains her covers of songs made by black artists, but she also hunted down and included all the original versions, too.

The \"Time After Time\" artist further encouraged her fans to \"dig deep into the catalog\" to learn more about the black artists she has highlighted.

\"If you take all of the music that you love or that has influenced music that you love and artists that you love, all of it has roots in black music,\" she imparted. \"So, like I said, go dig deep and support, celebrate and amplify the work of black artists.\"
