Artists

Alice Russell is a pure natural talent – there’s no wonder her powerful soul voice has attracted rave reviews from the press and garnered praise from fans as diverse as Gilles Peterson, David Byrne, Dennis Coffey, Massive Attack’s Daddy G, and Groove Armada.

Alice has also won over a whole host of producers – lending her strong, emotional tones to releases by Mr Scruff, Quantic, DJ Yoda and Nostalgia 77, the latter pairing producing the Seven Nation Army cover that demolished clubs for years.

But following her first release Under The Munka Moon, it’s her records with long-time producer and bandleader TM Juke that she’s best known. From their debut album My Favourite Letters through to the live-tinged Pot Of Gold, they have made some of the most arresting blues soul since the glory days of Aretha.

Alice came a sang Aretha’s Rock Steady and her own tune All Over Now (a breakdance favourite) with us at the Royal Albert Hall for our the BBC Prom show, The Breaks.
