"Caros audiophiles, after many weeks of nostalgic remembrance of established and famous artists, I think it is fitting to celebrate the New Year with a new upcoming artist from London.
Rumer is her name. She sings her own compositions of soulful jazz, jazzy soul. She has a gorgeous soft deep-toned voice reminiscent of Karen Carpenter, but I hear also Dusty Springfield. In other words, impeccable, classy. Burt Bacharach paid for her to fly to California so that he could hear her sing, and has now written some songs especially for her. He is the epitome of good taste.
Rumer has a special talent which deserves to become very well known and appreciated during 2011.
I wish you all a happy, exciting, healthy, fulfilling...and musical... 2011.
A proxima.
