    I get what you're saying, Harry - but to me, that Rumer track is the closest thing I've heard to Karen. Of course it may be a one off, who knows what the whole album will sound like - but it's a promising start!

    Agreed. It also points up just how close Karen Carpenter and Susan Jacks sounded.

    I'll be interested to hear more from Rumer.

    Ooooh, how very nice to listen to someone who can really sing!! And, yes, she really does sound reminiscent of Karen. Looking forward to more from this young lady.

    Thanks Phil and Harry for the links!

    Maybe there's some hope for the younger generation's music after all. :wink:

    Wow- even the production is Carpenteresque.
    It is odd to "hear" Karen but know it isn't her. Will be interesting to see what the entire album sounds like. Curious what Richard thinks.

    Wow....definitely reminiscent of Karen. I hear it in her intonation. She also possesses the velvety sound Karen had in her voice (i.e.) "Ordinary Fool".

    I'll add to the chorus of "Wows"! :laugh:

    Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but she sings my (our) kind of music! :D I'll definitely be buying her CD when it comes out. Thanks Phil for bringing Rumer to our attention.

    Here's another article from today's Guardian:

    Wow! I love her! To me, she sounds like a hybrid of Karen and Dusty Springfield. GOOD songs, too. I would definitely buy her stuff.

    They should market her music on Carpenters message boards!

    In the Wikipedia website, Rumer was born in 1979 but there are no information about her. Matt Clark Sanford, MI

    I read that Rumer at Maida Vale to air on Thu, Aug 12th.

    BBC? Radio 2?
