In the Hour of Chaos is less a third “solo record” and more a mixtape to a musical yet to be written. The album comes at a time when connection is needed more than ever. A generative connector and community leader Allison Russell, alongside production team dim star, cast a creative circle of collaborators to bring the songs to life, emerging from honest, raw dialogues between friends, lovers, chosen family, humans. The new record features Norah Jones, Joy Oladokun, Kara Jackson, Denitia, Ruby Amanfu, Devon Gilfillian, Kashus Culpepper, Brittney Spencer, Sara Watkins, Kyshona, Julie Williams, Chibueze Ihuoma and Ahya Simone.
