Alice Russell - "Heartbreaker" Live In Session [Okayplayer Premiere]

OK let's start with the basics: Alice Russell is the truth. She is a fact-type statement. She is correct information. She's all McCoy, no Hatfield, is what I'm trying to say. But please don't take my questionable word on this subject. Just hit play on this live-in-session performance of her next single, which Okayplayer is hella chuffed to present in it's World Premiere. "Heartbreaker" is a house made of handclaps, spanish guitar, blues piano and a vocal just a notch too raunchy to be called doo-wop. Russell and crew build that house up brick by soulful brick and then tear it down to the foundations right in front of our eyes, just to let you know she ain't nothing to eff with. This woman is not just a heartbreaker, she will break your favorite vocalist's kneecaps in a fair fight. "Heartbreaker" is slated for release as a single on October 15th. Please make a note of it.

There’s a river in my mind
And it won’t stop running just for you
But there’s a thousand forest fires
Between us and I can’t get through
There’s a race you’ve got me running
And I’ll break before the sun is down
I can’t keep holding on
You know this love has taken over me
I tried so hard, I tried to breath, I try to carry on
Heartbreaker, I cannot breathe
It’s so over, self-signed decree

[@leerajab93]

MY GOD ALICE, Just spot on !

[@meganwalsh9142]

Soooooo gooood!

[@JMJournet]

Now I know when hearts are broken
That with time they heal, or so they say
But this hold on me, I’m chocking just to breathe
Another kiss I pray
And there’s a race you’ve got me running
And I stumble, I carry on, I’ve left my heart behind
You know this love has taken over me
I try so hard, I try to breath, I try to carry on
Yes I'll sign on the dotted line if that is what it takes to set me free
And then I’ll turn around and tear it up
If that is what I need to do I will, Oh yes I will
