“Patrick Noel Russ writes great songs. Fact! Not just great songs but accessible, engaging, endearing and infectious songs. Songs that before too many spins you find yourself singing along to, tapping your foot to, swinging your hips to and, eventually, sashaying across the kitchen floor when there is no one looking.” - Dave Franklin
