Crossover

Emma Donovan & The Putbacks deliver Crossover, a soulful album rooted in personal memory and family legacy. Drawing from classic soul traditions and indigenous Australian protest music, the record pairs Donovan's powerful vocals with The Putbacks' dynamic funk rhythms. Songs like "Pink Skirt" and the title track weave childhood recollections and tributes to loved ones into emotionally resonant arrangements that echo Stax and Atlantic soul. A follow-up to their acclaimed 2014 collaboration Dawn, Crossover showcases the band's shared artistic vision with distinctly Australian character.
