On May 17th, 2012, Lake Street Dive stood on a street corner in Boston, Massachusetts and performed a wonderfully syncopated, imaginative cover of the Jackson 5 classic “I Want You Back.” 10 years later, with tens of millions of streams, an acclaimed discography and an enduring worldwide fanbase to their credit, it’s safe to say things have changed considerably. In all, the powerhouse, multi-genre ensemble have issued seven celebrated studio LPs, one epic live album, two EP’s and a slew of much-loved singles. Fun Machine: The Sequel expands the aperture a little wider, featuring selections ranging from R&B and pop favourites like Dionne Warwick’s “Anyone Who Had A Heart,” and The Pointer Sisters’ funky “Automatic,” to works by introspective singer-songwriters such as The Cranberries’ gorgeous “Linger,” Carole King’s classic “So Far Away,” Bonnie Raitt’s era-defining “Nick Of Time,” and even Shania Twain’s suddenly resurgent pop-country anthem, “You’re Still The One.”
