| Today, Allison Russell shares her new single “You’re Not Alone” featuring Brandi Carlile. Written and produced by Russell, “You’re Not Alone” is an inspiring meditation on the power of ancestral strength and the essential nature of community. The track’s exquisite string arrangement is performed by SistaStrings (Monique Ross & Chauntee Ross) and Larissa Maestro. (The song originally appeared on Our Native Daughters’ acclaimed 2019 debut album.) Forthcoming Austin City Limits airing Oct. 22–ACL’s 1,000th taping!

She sings about deliverance and redemption, about the places, people and realizations that helped her survive and claim her freedom. “It’s an album of strength and affirmation, not victimization,” said The New York Times in their profile on Russell. Following the release of Outside Child, Russell performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ellen, Late Night With Stephen Colbert, CBS This Morning Saturday, made her Opry debut and appeared at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
