There’s been a lot of female soul singers coming out of Britain over the last few years. It started with Amy Whinehouse, followed by Joss Stone, Leona Lewis, Duffy, and Adele, just to name a few… (sort of reminiscent of the 60s with Dusty Springfield, Kiki Dee, Lulu, Cilla Black etc..) Todays choice is the latest of these singers, but she is (my opinion, of course) head and shoulders above the rest. When I first heard her, I was blown away. Her current LP is the most beautiful I have heard for many many years.
Elton John has said about todays artist, that she is going to be the worlds next superstar, and Burt Bacharach flew her in to the USA to record with her. (His “Alfie” is a bonus track on her album)
As far as I can make out (although my research might be faulty), she hasn’t made an impression on Billboard yet, but I surmise its only a matter of time.
[pullquote-left]Karen Carpenter reborn?[/pullquote-left]She has been compared by a lot of people to Karen Carpenter, and strangely, she is just about the same age now as Karen was when she passed away…
Today’s choice is her first single that got to no. 16 in the UK singles charts at the end of 2010.
RUMER – SLOW from her debut album “Seasons of My Soul” was presented on May 11th 2011 by Dave

Hi Dave:
Rumer – Slow
Hil
Yes, it is Hil… hope you enjoy. WTG!!
lotta stuff today. first, rumer, slow, and from the most recent pictures, she sure doesn’t look like karen carpenter !!!!! I will say that from her emotional history, I hope she doesn’t end up like karen carpenter. carpenters song: close to you, of course, altho I did love her singing that muppet song, the rainbow connection. dave clark five: can’t you see that she’s mine.
I think the comparison to Karen is only the voice Alan… in fact if anything she seems to be going the opposite direction to Karen as far as her looks are concerned.
OMG {{{{{{{Dave}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I never heard Rumer before It’s kinda spooky how much she sounds like Karen The song is Slow and I LOVE it……
Very spooky Sev. I hope its not her fate to be compared with Karen for the rest of her career though… she is so much more!!!
Glad you like her… this lucky chap (me) is going to see her perform live in June in a small club… going to be a great evening 🙂
WTG my friend!!
That’s from “Slow” by Rumer. It appears on her 2010 album, “Seasons Of My Soul”.

Slow
You make me want to sing about love
Every time I raise my head
You make me want to tell the whole world
What I’ve found is good
Then they say
Slow
Slow this right down
Don’t burn it out
Don’t let it show
Slow
Oh but my heart is racing
To hold your gaze and
let it go
My love, my love my love
killin’ time is easy when you’re here
From dreams I’ve seen you before
You’re so familiar
And everywhere I go
Hear me calling for your love
Cause if it’s you
I will disarm you
And if it’s you
Do you know how to calm me down
Oh let me sleep in your arms
Then I won’t hear them singing
Slow
Slow this right down
Don’t burn it out
Don’t let it show
Slow
Oh but my heart is racing
to hold your gaze then
let it go
You make me want to sing about love
Even though you don’t wanna know
You make me want to tell the whole world
But I know
You don’t like it
You don’t like it
You don’t like it
