Rumer

Rumer is one of those artists whose voice feels like it arrived from another era entirely. Born Sarah Joyce in Islamabad, she emerged in 2010 with Seasons of My Soul, a debut so steeped in 1970s soft-soul warmth that it drew comparisons to Karen Carpenter. What truly impresses me is the company she keeps: Burt Bacharach, Elton John, Carly Simon and Jools Holland all championed her, and she earned two Brit Award nominations in early 2011. That kind of endorsement from songwriting royalty is rare. As a Pakistani-British singer-songwriter and guitarist, she has always struck me as a craftsman first, a celebrity a distant second.
