Rumer This Girls In Love

I hear the music coming out of your radio...

Rumer B Sides

Since making her major label debut in 2010 with Seasons of My Soul, the artist known as Rumer (real name: Sarah Joyce) has made the case that elegantly-crafted adult pop can still be viable in the 21st century. Influenced by Burt Bacharach, Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Stephen Bishop, Jimmy Webb and Paul Williams, Rumer is possessed of a honeyed voice that's most frequently been compared to Karen Carpenter on her three studio albums - Seasons, 2012's Boys Don't Cry (a collection of
