    What an emotional and relaxing soul voice reminds me so much of Karen Carpenter. Aretha is such a classic blues soul song.

    If you like Karen Carpenter you will enjoy this album by Rumer. They both have similar voices and music! This is a great record. Not as great as Adele, but not as boring as Duffy.

    This is an undeniable sweet debut by a simple artist that is Rumer. Rumer is a gift and has beautifully crafted a lovely, 'one- of- a- kind' album that is to last a lifetime.

    While the record maintains a strong sense of uniformity, it never lapses into monotony, thanks largely to the poetic turns of songs such as "Blackbird" and "Slow" but also Rumer's consistently powerful performances which culminate in a singular and impressive artistic statement.
  2. An undiscovered diamond.

    An immediately engaging debut, Seasons of My Soul has the potential to repeat the crossover success of Norah Jones' Come Away with Me and Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, its unquestionable authenticity signaling the arrival of an equally timeless and unaffected voice.
