Alice Russell's 'Breakdown' features on the Mad Men Season Seven Trailer

Mad Men Season Seven is hitting our screens for a final series on April 13th and AMC TV has chosen Full Thought’s Alice Russell and her excellent track ‘Breakdown’ for their new trailer. The trailer will initially run for a six week period across North American cable networks and worldwide through internet-based digital platforms with 60 second, 30 second and 5 second bumper spot versions.  

A version of ‘Breakdown’ features on the much loved soul and blues singer-songwriters 5th studio album ‘To Dust’ which was released last February via Tru Thoughts Records. ‘To Dust’ was the first solo appearance from Alice Russell since 2008’s acclaimed ‘Pot of Gold’ marking the next step in a remarkable career which has seen this down-to-earth, diminutive Brit universally acknowledged as one of the best soul voices of our time. It is no wonder she has attracted worldwide media support, and fans as diverse as Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Dennis Coffey, Massive Attack’s Daddy G and Groove Armada. 

Alice Russell’s music is no stranger to the world of TV featured recently on Blacklist, Mixology, House of Lies, The Client List and Ray Donovan.
