The fifth solo record in a little under a decade from British soulstress, Alice Russell, is the culmination of a slow-blooming development from cult concern into something rather noteworthy.
'To Dust', the fifth solo record in a little under a decade from British soulstress, Alice Russell, is the culmination of a slow-blooming development from cult concern into something rather noteworthy.
You're unlikely to hear Russell on a pop crossover hit any time soon, however, judging by her long-held love for exploring experimental avenues.
She has worked with talents as disparate as Talking Heads leader David Byrne, cutting-edge Connecticut-born beatsmith FaltyDL and globetrotting British multi-instrumentalist/producer Quantic since 2008 album Pot of Gold.
'To Dust' is more ebb and flow than Memento-level backwards journey, its opening run of smoldering slink eventually broken by "Hard and Strong". Upping the pitch of her delivery to memorable effect, though Russell doesn't quite break into full-on falsetto, her reserved disco diva guise makes for quite an impact.
