Found this on Amazon's 'Artists on the Rise' page and played the sample. Should say that I started to play the thirty-second sample, because before it was over, I was already downloading Slow by Rumer.
Didn't have a clue as to who Rumer is, but there were two things that hit me as I heard this freebie sample play the first time: silky-smooth and Karen Carpenter. And I've always had a thing for the music from the late Karen Carpenter.
While playing this song for the first time after downloading it, listening to her rich, clear voice, I also thought of two more musical references: Laura Nyro's smooth vocals and Burt Bacharach's special chord progression, as this one has both. But there is something else that stands out, and that's the way that Rumer pronounces each word so lucidly, and how she articulates the syllables of each word in her lyrics in such a crystal-clear and melodious fashion.
Here we have a new talent who doesn't have to scream her lyrics to get our attention. Her timing is impeccable, and even though I've made reference to other musicians here, Rumer has her own distinctive and distinguishable voice, quite unique though reminiscent of those musical greats noted above. Something tells me that Rumer will be one that we will hear more of for a long time to come, and here we are at the beginning of what I hope will be her long and illustrious musical career. She's that good.
This is actually the first track from her debut album Seasons Of My Soul, and as soon as I finish writing this, I have to go and catch the rest of that album. I hope that it holds up as well as this free sample cut does, and something tells me that it will. But try this one out and see what you think.

mellow - smooth- lovely tone -
we just found out about Rumer last weekend and wow! not sure why it took us so long to find her, but
we are glad we've finally discovered this wonderful U.K. artist who fits like a favorite glove
into our preferred listening list.
