Alice Russell, Pot of gold
Belissima voz, poderosa e quente, ao que não é alheio o facto de ela ter feito parte de um coro de música gospel na sua juventude em Brigthon. Este é o terceiro disco, sendo os anteriores Under the Munka Moon (2004), um conjunto de vários projectos (singles, remixes, colaborações) em conjunto com The Quantic Soul Orchestra, e My Favourite Letters (2005) criado por Alice com o co-escritor, produtor, guitarrista Alex Cowan (aka TM Juke).
Ainda antes da audição do novo disco sugiro estas duas versões de clássicos recentes:
Seven Nation Army (original White Stripes) Crazy (original Gnars Barkley)
Alice na primeira pessoa:
“Music is communication, even though I grew up in the countryside in England, the music helps you to understand the issues that a song expresses—be it love, prejudice, not being able to pay your bills, happiness, sorrow, racial inequality, your aspirations, dancing, mourning … life itself.
Music is an expression of human life and we are all drawn to different types. I’m moved by all the world’s many genres of music. But soul music is what resonates most strongly in my heart.”
“Ah, my dear friend Alex. I just love working with him. Our working relationship is always evolving and ever-changing as things that are alive should always be moving and growing. It’s like; we’ll push each other into different places. And for writing music, that can sometimes be very good.”
“Alex might have had a musical idea and I’d say, ‘Hold on, let’s have a go with it this other way instead’ and we’d change things ’round. It’s like holding up a mirror to each other, sometimes saying, ‘Well, what if we did that?’ or ‘let’s look at things a different way.’ It just seems to work for us.”
“Growing up, I was surrounded by different types of music and you know, you just get taken by something, don’t you? It hits you in the right place and you think, ‘Yeah, Baby, I like that!’ That gospel stuff is wicked, isn’t it?And artists like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin … I was really small, playing with my Lego, taping this stuff off of the radio. I just fell in love with soul music, quite honestly. Just hearing that music hit the spot.”
