Rumer is virtually an unknown in the USA; her popularity is primarily in European markets. She has received a nomination for a BRIT award as Best British Breakthrough Act and Best British Female Solo Artist, and she recently began touring in the West and Mid-West.
Sarah Joyce, born in Pakistan, migrated to London as a young girl with her family. She adopted the stage name of Rumer after the author Rumer Godden. She has also performed in a band as Sarah Joyce.
In 2010 Rumer was invited by Burt Bacharach to record on SINGS BACHARACH AT CHRISTMAS, released in the UK.
Rumer is being compared to Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters (1969-1983). Her soft soulful voice is very pleasing to listen to, and the comparison is valid, a nice change of pace for your collection. Enjoy!
