While 2012sFun Machinepaid homage to their classic R&B, neo-soul, and jazz roots,Fun Machine: The Sequelexpands the aperture a little wider, featuring selections ranging from R&B and pop favorites like Dionne Warwicks (Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned) classic Anyone Who Had A Heart, and The Pointer Sisters funky Automatic, to works by introspective singer-songwriters such as The Cranberries gorgeous Linger, Carole Kings classic So Far Away, Bonnie Raitts era-defining Nick Of Time, and even Shania Twains suddenly resurgent pop-country anthem, Youre Still The One.
