    It’s a 10-song collection woven together with surprise, gratitude, pain and musical beauty the world has never quite seen before.

    Russell's story would be compelling enough on its own, but she also happens to be an engaging and unpredictable artist able to translate her vision effectively. The Returner is a very confident second record.

    In just two short years, Russell has emerged as one of our most important voices, and The Returner further projects her voice and career.

    From the moment you heard her with Our Native Daughters, you knew it was only a matter of time before she made her album for the ages. The Returner is that album. [Oct 2023, p.27]

    By the time the closing spiritual Requiem rolls around it's self-evident Russell is very much in a genre of one. [Nov 2023, p.86]
