Boston's
Lake Street Dive's 2012 EP The Fun Machine features the experimental blue-eyed soul outfit playing a handful of well-chosen cover songs. Included are
the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back,"
Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl," and
George Michael's "Faith," among others. Also included is one original cut. This is buoyant, fun music that combines the group's jazz, pop, and R&B influences and showcases frontwoman
Rachael Price's resonant, soulful vocals. ~ Matt Collar
