CHOON OF THE DAY: "HEARTBREAKER" - Alice Russell + FaltyDL Remix

I have always been very fond of Alice Russell. Her smokey soulful vocal skills would move a stone! She has already put a spell on me once this year, her superb collaborative album "Look Around the Corner" which Russell recorded with long-time music chaperon Quantic, is a true masterpiece. "Heartbreaker" is the first single to be lifted from this much loved British soul and blues singer's upcoming fifth album "To Dust", which follows in February 2013. Tru Thoughts prime diva might have just delivered one of her most magnificent performances. What a song!!!

CHOONS OF THE DAY: "LOOK AROUND THE CORNER" - Quantic and his Combo Barbaro feat. Alice Russell + "FEELING GOOD"

Tru Thoughts were among my most beloved record labels for years now. This however brings my admiration for this Brighton formed label to another level. Miss Alice Russell teams up for this explosion of good vibes with maestro Quantic and together they sound as delicious as Minnie Riperton from one her finest albums. Listen to their heavenly reinterpreation of "Feeling Good", the previous collaboration of the pair, below. Pure sonic bliss...
