I Loved You
Anushka's Wild Hearts Remix (5:48)
A special bonus track edition of much loved soul and blues singer-songwriter Alice Russell’s album ‘To Dust’ will be released with exclusive bonus tracks – including reworkings from Anushka and Sefi Zisling - for the first time on 9th July. Featuring previous singles “Twin Peaks”, “Hard and Strong” and “Heartbreaker” (the video for which stars Harry Shearer (The Simpsons/Spinal Tap/SNL), the LP has received previous support from BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 2, Rolling Stone, The Fader, NTS, KCRW, NPR, The New York Times, Clash Magazine and more.

‘To Dust’ marks an important step in the remarkable career of this down-to-earth, diminutive Brit universally acknowledged as one of the best soul voices of our time. Whether performing on a huge stage with a 16 piece band, charming 4000 revelers into staying out dancing in the rain (as at Montreal Jazz Festival) or rocking an intimate club, Alice’s raw talent and charisma command attention and affection. Unfazed by taking the spotlight after Amy Winehouse, singing with The Roots in Philly, or joining Roy Ayers for “Everybody Loves The Sunshine”, it is no wonder she has attracted worldwide media support, and fans as diverse as Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Dennis Coffey, Massive Attack’s Daddy G and Groove Armada.

Highly in demand as a vocalist, Alice has previously guested alongside Fatboy Slim on Talking Heads frontman David Byrne’s solo LP, as well as collaborations with the likes of Mr Scruff, Quantic, DJ Yoda and Nostalgia 77. However, it is her solo records with longtime musical partner TM Juke that she is best known for, and they have borne some of the most arresting blues soul since the glory days of Aretha. “We’ve both got a very open approach to writing songs,” Alice explains of the prolific relationship, “Our influences run from Sarah Vaughan to Bach, Kate Bush to Arvo Part, and J Dilla to Alice Coltrane. We love everything from dirty, squelchy dubstep to old school soul. We nudge each other in the right directions.”
