**Press Release**
Alice Smith is an uncategorizable and rare artist whose commanding 4-octave voice lets her skip across genres effortlessly and transport you along with it. Based in NYC, but raised in Washington DC and Georgia, her references span the USA from country and classic rock to jazz and gospel. She is bringing back the American tradition of soul music with the raw emotions in her voice and relatable lyrics void of any pretense. "For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me" is a collection of songs that add an innovative twist to an undeniable groove.

From the opening beat accompanied by piano and horn stabs, Alice reminds you that rock and soul came from the same place. The songs all have the anthemic quality of classic songwriting with a decidedly modern groove and vernacular. Whether singing about people⊃1;s need to escape the pressures of working in the cities for some relaxation in a natural environment or fighting off depression after life throws you a curve ball, her voice is full of honesty. Alice is like the girl down the street from you, there is never a moment of bling or luxury that average people can⊃1;t identify with.

Alice is already garnering raves from the press for her refreshing persona and songwriting. Her live shows with her band have become a touch act to follow, infecting the audience with the joy she puts into her work. "For Lovers, Dreamers, and Me" is sure to be one of the year⊃1;s most exciting albums from a new artist that will connect with you instantly.

**Press Reviews**
Rolling Stone "One of Rolling Stones 10 Artists to Watch 2006- Smith could easily be lumped in with expressive chanteuses like Norah Jones and Alicia Keys, but she has a broader palette than either."

Nashville Scene "Window shaking yet melodious four-octave voice and talent for picking smart pop songs."

Fader "Smith uses pop conventions to lead you to moments of genuine revelation in all the places you never expected."
