Soundwaves: Deva Mahal Reimagines “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” for Cantinuum Grammy-Winning Producer Scott Jacoby’s New Endeavor

Posted on 2025/11/02 by James

Cantinuum, a new music project conceived by Grammy-winning producer, writer and mixer Scott Jacoby (AKA SCOJAC), and collaborator Sarah Tamir, is celebrating the release of a new single—an extraordinary reimagining of the classic Cyndi Lauper hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” Performed by the award-winning singer-songwriter Deva Mahal (daughter of Taj Mahal), the song is transformed into a rich ballad anchored by her vivid vocals and soulfully languid arrangement.  Produced by Jacoby and Tamir, the song includes Paul “Papabear” Johnson on bass and Sherrod Barnes on guitar.  Jacoby plays drums and Tamir and Jacoby are both on keyboards. Mahal’s sublime reinterpretation is the second in a series of recordings that began with Cantinuum’s reworking of “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues” performed by The Roots’ Martin Luther McCoy.
