Pot of Gold
One listen to Alice Russell’s voice will send shivers down your spine and leave goose bumps on your neck. Alice’s lavishly soulful voice is both timeless and up to the minute modern. Live or on record, she always performs with her trademark self assurance and sass. Listening to Alice, you’d naturally think she grew up on the streets of Detroit, just around the corner from Motown’s legendary recording studios.
“Working with a singer like Alice was something new, terrifying and ultimately amazing.” - David Byrne
”....one of Britain’s best kept secrets” - Independent
“It’s amazing that these days, with the likes of Amy Winehouse and Duffy blowing up, the ever consistent, on-point Ms Russell is still not an a-lister. Let’s hope this album is the one to do that. With the genius of TM Juke and Alice’s vocals, this is a potent combination.” - Aldo Vanucci
”...lush strings combined with Russell’s intense, declamatory tones result in a strikingly soulful makeover…” - Mojo
“Amy Winehouse will wish she could produce an album half as good as this….Alice is a wonderful soulful, bluesy vocalist backed by a band that’s tighter than an Aberdonian during the credit crunch” - Daily Express
”...her vocal style has a gritty power and authentically raw soulfulness…” - Venue Magazine
”...powerful….soulful…fantastic…” - Word Magazine
“Without a doubt, Alice Russell is the best singer the UK has produced for decades. Every time I see her, I have no idea why she isn’t better known. Last year she appeared in Tru Thoughts Merry-Go-Round. This time round, we got to see 60 minutes of just Alice, and it was well worth the wait. Not only is her voice a bluesy, jazz infusion of sheer quality, she knows how to work a stage. Her new album – ‘Pot of Gold’ – gets released in October. Buy it, you won’t regret it one little bit.” - Vikki Chowney
Hot on the heels of the release of Pot Of Gold comes a double CD of remixes featuring, some radical, some faithful and some inspired re-workings of Pot Of Gold originals from the likes of Mr Scruff, DJ Vadim, Shawn Lee and The Heavy.
And in addition to this prolific musical output, Alice’s live performances continue to flourish with her ability to captivate an audience and to hold their attention throughout, expertly tugging at the heartstrings. Pot of Gold was shaped on the road and now comes full circle as Alice and her band tour worldwide to support these new releases.
