Who needs a three-course menu when you have a three-step album release? Taking the pop industry by storm, Toronto-based rising vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Heather Russell just announced the first EP, “Knock,” of her forthcoming debut album, Knock, Knock, to be released in January 2024.

Heather Russell is a self-proclaimed antidote to a world that has a general urge and angst surrounding the release of viral hits every day, bringing her love of film noir and pop culture to songs that have a vintage, theatrical feel with a voice akin to the Mariahs and Arianas of the world. Her debut album, Knock, Knock, will be released in three 5-song EPs. The first (“Knock,”) is co-produced by King Henry, “Downtown” Trevor Brown & Zaire Koalo of The Orphanage, Luke Atlas, Dominique Sanders, and Aaron C. Harmon. The second EP (“Knock”) will arrive on Nov 10, and the combined album (Knock, Knock) on Jan 26, 2024.
