“Alice has a voice that stands out in a crowd. I was blown away and had to listen back after the show to make sure it had sounded as good on the airwaves as it had in the studio. Her songs are beautifully delivered and I could NOT believe Alice hadn’t performed live on radio before appearing on my programme. I just know that this will be the first of many live sets she is asked to play, in fact I’ve already invited her back!” John Govier, BBC Radio Devon

“Ooohh wee, what a beauty! Imagine Amy McDonald, but 100 times more sweeter. Apart from the voice, the strings on this track which are present throughout really puts this song on another level. One of the best new tracks I’ve had the pleasure of hearing on ubr…” Polly James, Absolute Radio

When Alice joined us at the Olympic Park this summer, she was incredible. Her striking blend of folk and soul is a delight alone, but being the experimental thinker she is, she also brought along a beatboxer for percussion. Suffice to say, we hadn’t seen anything quite like that before. Whilst her recording of ‘Do Not Awaken Love’ may use more ‘conventional’ musicianship, her exploration of instruments and sound lets the track sparkle. Kat Jackman, Huffington Post

Following the showcase her debut album, Alice Watts is striding back on the scene hitting live music venues for the release of her new EP, Do Not Awaken Love. Her music is a warm blend of soul-styled folk, layered with ‘a voice that could stop wars’ as one listener claimed.

Influenced at an early age by musicians passing through her neighbour’s home-recording studio in South London, Alice began song-writing and playing a variety of instruments from the tender age of seven, gathering influences and creative ideas from different musicians encountered and countries travelled; from Indonesia to Rome, Paul Weller to Paul McCartney.

Critics are comparing her vocal style to Joni Mitchell, with striking vocals reminiscent of Eva Cassidy and the gumption of PJ Harvey, Alice has developed a vibrant soul styled folk that will leave you inspired. The House of St Barnabus-in-Soho, Proud Galleries, The Dublin Castle and The Borderline in London are just a few of the venues that have played host to this exceptional talent.

Alice’s debut album ‘Your World’ saw her working alongside talented musicians including Mercury Music Award nominee Nick Mulvey. More recently, she has been working on her EP, ‘Do Not Awaken Love’ which she is now débuting across venues throughout London and the South West.
