Alice Russell

Spirit era-inspired U.K. vocalist Alice Russell, if anything a kid of Chaka Khan, became progressively known through the entire early 2000s with her efforts to recordings from Bah Samba, Quantic, TM Juke, and Nostalgia 77, and she also released some ambitious albums for the Tru Thoughts label. Beneath the Munka Moon (2004) and My Favorite Characters (2005) jumped over many pigeonholes from monitor to monitor, at various instances falling consistent with later on 4hero (? la Creating Patterns and Play with the Adjustments), throwback funk, folk-soul, and contemporary organic R&B. Beneath the Munka Moon II (2006) was a hodgepodge arranged like the Bugz within the Attic mixture of her cooperation with Susumu Yokota, a cover of Idris Muhammad’s blissed-out Heaven Garage traditional “Could Heaven Ever END UP LIKE This.” Pot of Platinum, made by TM Juke and released through the tail end of 2008, arrived with the Six Levels label and was securely rooted in past due-’60s spirit. Russell collaborated with Quantic for 2012’s co-billed SHOP AROUND the Part in 2012. Despite starting a tour that yr, she found time and energy to record her following studio work, To Dust, that was released in the past due winter season of 2013.
