by Emma Donovan & The PutBacks
The best of Melbourne’s funk soul scene in Emma Donovan and The PutBacks have come together to create a polished, exciting album Dawn. The PutBacks play a solid, steady groove that perfectly complements Donovan’s rich vocals, and step back to make her voice standout. The collaboration is so smooth in fact that it sounds like they’ve been working together for years. Songs range from expressions of grief to optimism and everything in between – it comes across as a deeply personal album that will have you wanting to spin it again and again. The title track Dawn really shows off Donovan’s vocal range, while the Voodoo highlights the killer grooves that The PutBacks are known for. A timeless classic that will have a place in any record collection for years to come.
