Alice Russell and Bittersweet “Drama”
June 16, 2008
Another name to watch (or should I say hear?) is Alice Russell. She is described as “Music that tugs at the emotions and raises hairs on the back of the neck. You really can’t fake what Miss. Russell’s got!” this is very true. I can’t say it any better than her web site. -
“Alice Russell has gained an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the UK right now. Her tracks with the Quantic and Quantic Soul Orchestra projects helped elevate her profile further. 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. Her style is a predominantly bluesy, soul lament but encompasses everything from funk to gospel to jazz and beyond. Her performances captivate the audience and command its attention.”
I say, she is rather good.

For those of you who haven’t heard of Bittersweet by name, you have probably heard them either on tv or in random places as that catchy, playful, “didn’t-I-hear-this-in-a-Sean Connery-flick” kind of music. Anyway, they are out with their new album entitled “Drama” on the quango label. I am sure you can buy it at your local music store (or online. Granted you are reading this blog…)
