- 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" for proof.) The songbird has guested on releases by the Quantic Soul Orchestra and released three records on her own — catch her tonight at the Independent if you missed her last sold-out weekend residency at Mojito. – Matt Sussman
