Since the release of her first solo album two years ago, the self-taught singer, songwriter, poet, activist, and multi-instrumentalist Allison Russell has redefined what artistry means in the 21st century. Outside Child, her often devastating, deeply moving, cathartic celebration of survivor`s joy, has become one of the most acclaimed albums of the past 10 years - (various honors include three GRAMMY Award nominations, the Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, the 2022 Americana Music Association`s Album of the Year Award, two International Folk Music Awards, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and four UK Americana Music Awards). The Returner, Russell`s sophomore album, is a body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulfulexpression of Black liberation, Black love, of Black self-respect. This new album doesn`t just deliver on the massive promise of the last two years, it brilliantly exceeds all reasonable (and unreasonable) expectations and affirms Allison Russell`s place among music`s most vital artists?and The Returner as one of 2023`s most essential recordings. Alongside the Rainbow Coalition Band - a talented ensemble of BIack and POC, queer, and historically marginalized musicians from across the U.S. - Russell uses the power of music in order to spread her message of the "Beloved Community" and is dedicated to lifting others upwards as her own star climbs higher.
