iTunes Review

With a voice that's drawn comparisons to Karen Carpenter for its silky soulfulness, British singer/songwriter Rumer (born Sarah Joyce) has earned the support of Elton John and Burt Bacharach, whose "Alfie" is on the deluxe version of this fine album. Bacharach is an appropriate touchstone; songs like the sweeping "Slow" and the dreamlike "Come to Me High" are very much in his mold. Electric and acoustic pianos, brass arrangements, gently restrained drums, and Rumer's velvet voice brings back the days of Carole King, Laura Nyro, and "Rainy Days and Mondays" with such perfect autobiographical timepieces such as "Am I Forgiven?," "Aretha," and "Take Me as I Am." The inclusion of David Gates' "Goodbye Girl" is further indication that she's out to bring back the romance of early-'70s AM radio. The album, which was released in the U.K. in 2010, has received positive notices and awards there. The deluxe version includes covers of Paul Simon's "Long Long Day," The Beach Boys' "The Warmth of the Sun," and the aforementioned Bacharach track, "Alfie."

Relaxing.

What an astounding sound :)
I could fall asleep to it and wake up feeling rejuvinated :)))) LOVE.

Finally !

Two years after it's release this Bacharach styled set gets a US release. Rumer has a rich, smooth vocal range that is easily comparable to the late Karen Carpenter. Every track here has a life of it's own and will be remembered for decades as one of the most intriguing talents to emerge ever ! If you want to listen to lush Bacharach styled arrangements with the perfect female vocals, then then is it !

Beauty Beyond Words

Enchanting and timeless, Rumer's stunning debut cuts straight to the depths of my soul. Her music melts my cold heart. Her voice carries me away to a place of beauty and joy and pain and resurrection. This music has literally changed my life. I cannot say enough to describe the greatness of this music. Rumer, I'm so glad I found you! Brilliant.
