Introducing... Alice Russell!


I was browsing the net as I usually do and came across an artist by the name of Alice Russell. Alice's unique singing style and angelic voice intrigued me so I took a look at her story. Before we get into that, take a look at her performing Gnarls Barkley's 2005 hit, "Crazy" below.

Wow, amazing! Alice has a great talent and it seems like its getting put to good use. Anyway, a bit more about her. Alice is a British soul singer who has slowly been making a name for herself in the soul/jazz world. She has four albums out, with "Pot of Gold" being the most recent. She lists artists like Minnie Ripperton, Jill Scott and Chaka Khan as her influences and has been compared to both Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone.

I think I'll pick up a copy of "Pot of Gold" in a few weeks and take a listen to it, so expect that review soon. In the meantime take a listen to the lead single from the album, "Let Us Be Loving" below and let me know what you think!
