Alice Russell

"It’s easy when you’re about 21 or 22, maybe a bit older – you can really flip out. You still don’t really know who you are. I used to go on terrible benders – but I was younger and had friends.”

This is neo-soul, funky jazz pop for 2013.

Russell is a versatile artist, and To Dust is the best vehicle yet for her unique, foreign and yet familiar sound.

Russell is simply capable of more. It’s disappointing to hear only the shadow of that potential.
