Barry Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Just heard the new Rumer track 'Dangerous' ...it has all the hallmarks of a mid 70s Modern record: Im not saying it is soulful or anything like that just posting for the interest Edited October 6, 2014 by Barry 1
Barry Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Will that track play above, can't seem to get to play here. Edited October 6, 2014 by Barry
Chris Turnbull Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 The strings come on a bit like Gloria Scott 'Lovemaking' - would have been a good cover 1

Stateside Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I heard it too. Thought it started well, but got a bit too "Loveboat" for me! Edited October 6, 2014 by stateside
Sutty Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like Fleetwood Mac to me, can't hear much soul content just pleasant-ish radio-friendly MOR sounds 1
pow wow mik Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like Fleetwood Mac to me, can't hear much soul content just pleasant-ish radio-friendly MOR sounds Agreed ; very Ken Bruce. When it gets to the 70s sound the line gets pretty thin between MOR and soul 1
Soulboyrecords Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I'm a bit in the dark here - and she might be a SS fave ... so I'll get shot ... nice enough tune for me - dreadful vocals
Soulboyrecords Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I heard it too. Thought it started well, but got a bit too "Loveboat" for me! I heard it too. Thought it started well, but got a bit too "Loveboat" for me! Now that is a tune - anyone got one for sale? I'm dancin' now ...
Winnie :-) Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Agreed ; very Ken Bruce. When it gets to the 70s sound the line gets pretty thin between MOR and soul I don't think it's particularly soulful either, maybe the arrangement shakes hands with a 7Ts sort of sound, but doesn't retain much of it's DNA, so all in all, I wouldn't turn it off it came on the radio, think that's the best I can say.
Sjclement Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Mrs C likes her a lot, Kev, I'll bet Heather does to? sounding vocally like Karen Carpenter . Which all means that Mrs C will have it for HER car cd player
Soulstu Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hmmmm…I struggle with Rumer (crap stage name as well) - she seemed to hop from genre to genre until one hit paydirt. I don't think she's particularly 'authentic'… if her first 'indie' band had sold any records she'd be doing that instead….not for me I'm afraid.
