Alice Smith
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Smith (b. 1978) is an New York City-based singer, her style anchored in rock, R&B, blues, jazz and soul. Raised between Washington D.C. and a farm in Georgia, she sang in Moomtez and Black Rock Coalition while studying History at Fordham University. Releasing her first LP in 2006, Smith has a powerful voice, and Rolling Stone said of her, "Smith could easily be lumped in with expressive chanteuses like Norah Jones and Alicia Keys, but she has a broader palette than either." The magazine listed her as one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2006.[1] Her voice has a Southern sound that has led her to tour with artists such as Citizen Cope.[2].
Recently featured was the song Dream on an episode of Entourage (season four) during the closing credits. Dream was also featured in the final act of episode four, season five, of the Showtime series The L Word ("Let's Get This Party Started"). In 2007, she was nominated for a Grammy award under the Best Urban/Alternative category.
