Seasons Of My Soul

2011 reissue of her '10 debut album now includes two bonus tracks; Alfie (Burt Bacharach) and It Might Be You (Theme from Tootsie). 2010 debut album from singer/songwriter Rumer, the follow-up to her successful EP, Slow. Musically, Seasons of My Soul is influenced by Rumer's upbringing, which takes in a childhood spent in an enclosed, exotic expat colony in Pakistan. Here, her family would often sing and write songs together, determined to provide their own entertainment in the absence of TV or newspapers. Then, they relocated to the New Forest, where Rumer first saw a television, and married her love of the Folk tradition with the sweeping melodies of the technicolor movie musicals. It is a blissful harmony, which you can hear in the likes of 'Slow' and 'Come to Me High'.
