On this past week’s Rhythm Lab Radio, we had our monthly segment with UK DJ, producer, and tastemaker Karen P. She presented her top picks for February 2009 which included music from the amazing album from Mulatu Astatke & The Heliocentrics, and the band The Invisible.

Yesterday I went to see the soulful singer from Brighton, England Alice Russell perform at the Majestic in Madison, Wisconsin. First off I just wanted to give a shout out to the Great Dane. I had an amazing meal. It was Salmon with Chive Butter Sauce with grilled Asparagus. Alright, back to the show.

Before there was Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Joss Stone, there was Alice Russell. Originally from Brighton, England, Alice Russell have became one of my favorite singers. When I first heard her voice, it was on a track by Kushti called “Taking Hold” which was originally released back in 1999.
