My new musical obession is Rumer. It is 2012, the era of over-produced pop-shlock & along comes a breath of Bacharach sound, blessed with effortless, rich, warm, velvet smooth vocals- Anglo-Pakistani musician- Rumer. I feel as if I have tripped back in time to my first Golden Era, the early-1970s, listening to the sounds of Karen Carpenter & Carole King.
Born in 1979 (!) to British parents living in Islamabad, Sarah Joyce, began writing songs with her 7 brothers & sisters, after finding a huge passion for musicals & Judy Garland. In 2010, she signed to Atlantic Records, changed her name & was personally invited by Burt Bacharach to sing for him at his California home. Her album-Seasons of My Soul was released in 2011 & she was nominated for several Brit Awards. I really dig this. Do you hear what I hear? Do you find her to be a smooth musical flip-side to Adele? She is not a Willis.
This is the February 2012 Mix. I would so burn it for you if you would ask nice.
Alfie- Rumer
Hanuman- Rodrigo y Gabriela
The One That Got Away- Katy Perry
It Will Rain- Bruno Mars
Stare Into The Sun- Graffiti6
I'll Be Around- Seal
License To Kill- Elvis Costello
With God On Our Side- K'naan
Make You Feel My Love (Live)- Adel
Just Like A Woman- Carly Simon
I Want You- Ximena Sarinana
Ghost- Ingrid Michaelson
Slow- Rumer
