deluxe version with three extra tracks. 'boys don't cry', follows the breakthrough success of rumer's debut album, 'seasons of my soul', which has sold over a million copies, earned rumer two brit nominations and also saw her scoop the mojo award for breakthrough act. still, she is in no mood to rest up. with sessions dating back to 2007 (before she was even signed) and completed amidst touring worldwide, rumer has spent the last year or so quietly completing work on a new album, 'boys don't cry': a stunning collection of lesser-known songs from the 1970's, all of which were originally sung by men. "i just love songwriters" says rumer, when introducing the project. "i feel more like an actor or a painter when tackling their work, as you're just trying to find the character underneath" this cast of characters is nothing short of formidable, spanning the likes of todd rundgren, townes van zandt, ronnie lane (and ronnie wood) and tim hardin. even the more well-known artists - leon russell, isaac hayes, bob marley - have had their relatively forgotten tracks revisited, and re-imagined. "the songs don't always sound that much like the originals by the end," suggests rumer, "but they are emotional impressions of them." by using this nascent intuition, and applying a mixture of detachment and interpretative nous, rumer may be poised to cast a generation of lost songs into a new light.
