Call her the next British blue-eyed soul export if you want, but Alice Russell doesn't need a trademark look, tabloid troubles, or a promotional deal to make her mark: her voice, which veers from a Beth Gibbons croon to a throaty growl worthy of another Beth (Ditto, of the Gossip), speaks for itself. (Check out her righteous re-working of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army.")

Bootleg Theater says…

“We now have straight outta Brighton, the great Alice Russell to illustrate again that the British Isles are a seething hotbed of true soul sensations. Purveying her superfunky retro kinda thing.” - LA Weekly

"The diminutive blond diva treated the audience to delicious grooves and dynamic vocals…before bringing the house down in gospel revival style.” - Boston Herald
