With piano fans in high places (including Burt Bacharach, Elton John and Jools Holland), Rumer is a smooth-voiced songstress who’s also good at tinkling the ivories. She’s got a classic jazz lounge singer vibe about her, although her album is mainly geared towards pop sensibilities – her vocals bring to mind Karen Carpenter and Carly Simon, while Bacharach was so impressed he asked if he could write a song for her. There’s a bit of a nod to the soul genre in there as well – see the tellingly-named ‘Aretha’, from her debut album Slow. ■ Classic Grand, Glasgow, Tue 18 Jan (rescheduled from Wed 15 Dec).
