The much loved soul singer-songwriter Alice Russell releases her 5th solo album, To Dust . This is the 1st solo album from her since 2008 s acclaimed Pot Of Gold , marking the next step forward in a remarkable career which has seen this diminutive Brit universally acknowledged as one of the best soul voices of our time. Whether on a huge stage with a 16 piece band or rocking an intimate club, Alice s raw talent & charisma command attention & affection. Unfazed by taking the spotlight after a sober Amy Winehouse, singing with The Roots in Philly, or joining Roy Ayers for Everybody Loves The Sunshine , it is no wonder she has attracted worldwide media support & fans as diverse as Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Massive Attack s Daddy G & Groove Armada. To Dust sees Alice exploring every letter of the soul lexicon. From the Prince-esque strut of Hard And Strong to the epic intensity of the title track. Heartstring tugging I Loved You ; the sonically smooth yet emotionally raw Twin Peaks to the pulse-quickening build of Let Go (Breakdown) & psychedelic social consciousness of Citizens Alice is never less than scintillating as she displays emotions so real you feel you could reach out & touch them. The idiosyncratic structure of the LP, peppered with interludes & reprises, makes for a unique & satisfyingly whole album experience.
