Alice Russell is universally acclaimed as one of the best modern soul voices of our time, while her raw talent and charisma commands attention and affection

The much-loved British soulstress returns with the most personal album of her career. 'I Am' is vulnerable and bold while addressing how we must all work on ourselves to heal - so that we can love and connect with those and the world around us more honestly and with depth.

Life, loss and grief have been a central part of this period and a new approach to creating music: "Two little ones have joined me, and one has left - my dad passed away the summer after 'To Dust' was released. The day after my Dad's funeral, I found out I was pregnant with my frst little one." Alice continues: "The grief journey has cracked me open and created a more urgent need to be focused and try to go deeper with how I communicate creatively and who I AM today, and I welcome it with open arms".

Written and produced alongside long-time collaborator TM Juke, 'I Am' is the frst offering of new music from the iconic singer in over a decade and marks a new era in the remarkable career of the down- to- earth vocal powerhouse. This summer, Alice graced the main stage of Gilles Peterson's We Out Here, supported Nile Rogers and performed as part of a tribute to Aretha Franklin across France, marking her return to the stage, where she belongs.
