Under The Munka Moon

Alice Russell has gained an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the UK. She possesses a voice of such raw beauty and masterful control that she is instantly able to captivate an audience and command their attention, creating music that tugs at the emotions and raises hairs on the back of the neck. Her style is a bluesy, soulful lament but encompasses everything from funk to gospel to jazz and beyond, as illustrated by her long list of collaborators.

An accomplished chanteuse, Alice's sensual, sublime voice has seen her work on a variety of different projects: fusing Latin sounds with twinges of house, uplifting jazz and funk with Bah Samba; unleashing her talent as one of the first ladies of UK soul with the 11-piece Quantic Soul Orchestra; and revealing a laidback hip hop and soul inspired sound with her band Kushti.

Her debut album 'Under The Munka Moon' gathers together all of these influences, mixing her earlier collaborative efforts with brand new songs - a collection of her finest work to date. From authentic soul ('Hurry On Now' with TM Juke), to delightful acoustic touches ('Sweet Is The Air' with Natureboy). Her work with Quantic is represented with a number of tunes appearing for the first time on CD. 'Under The Munka Moon' also includes tracks written with Bah Samba and Kushti and additional production and remix work by Quantic, Digitek, Atjazz and Plaid. A formidable host of studio talent to support a wonderful voice.

'Under The Munka Moon' showcases the skills and remarkable abilities of one of the finest singers in the UK right now. Move over Joss Stone, this is authentic soulful funk with a clever modern twist.
