Alice Russell: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert



There’s not­hing res­trai­ned about Ali­ce Russell’s per­for­mance. It’s emo­tio­nal­ly fiery from the start and gets hot­ter and grit­tier, espe­ci­al­ly when she’s sin­ging „To Dust,“ the title track to her first new album in almost five years.

Ali­ce Rus­sell is a clas­sic soul infu­sed sin­ger — clo­se your eyes and it’s easy to hear a sou­thern drawl, but sur­pri­sin­gly, she’s a Brit. Ame­ri­can infu­sed R&B from Bri­tain has a long histo­ry going back to the 1960s with Dus­ty Spring­field and inclu­ding 21st cen­tu­ry artists like Ade­le and Ali­ce Rus­sell. Ali­ce Rus­sell also tends to include a dose of elec­tro­ni­ca in her arran­ge­ments. Rus­sell has been making gre­at soul music for 10 plus years. To Dust is her fifth album. Which may be the only reason too many peo­p­le don’t yet know this artist. This stuff is as powerful as any Ame­ri­can sin­ger sin­ging soul in the 21st cen­tu­ry. May­be this is your well over­due intro­duc­tion –BOB BOILEN
