Fun Machine: The Sequel

Description

After seven studio albums fusing with exuberance soul, pop, rock, and plural jazz, Lake Street Dive continues to challenge musical currents with a new cover EP, Fun Machine: The Sequel. While the first volume of this collection paid tribute to the classic roots of R&B, neo-soul, and jazz, Fun Machine: The Sequel successfully renews the experience with six covers from unexpected horizons: confirming a strong taste for temporal eclecticism and the range of a musical palette stretching from R&B to folk. This album inventively combines the pastel funk of the Pointers Sisters ('Automatic') with the raw introspection of the Cranberries ('Linger'), the melodic masterpieces of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach ('Anyone Who Had a Heart') with the sensual blues of Bonnie Rait ('Nick Of Time'), and the woody ballads of Carole King ('So Far Away') with the country-pop of Shania Twain ('You're Still the One').
