Rumer - Seasons of My Soul
Like Adele, this English songbird sings convincingly about matters of the heart. But where Adele belts out her anguish, the power of Sarah Joyce, who performs under the name Rumer, is delivered softly, like a punch from a velvet glove. Channeling Karen Carpenter and Laura Nyro, Rumer caresses the listener with emotional ballads like the dreamy “Slow” and “Come to Me High,” with its lush, Bacharach-style arrangement. When she asks for acceptance on the gorgeous “Take Me as I Am,” resistance is futile.
