Rumer Releases New Single 'Sara Smile'

• 26th Jun 2012

Silky voiced songstress Rumer will release the second single from her beautiful ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ album on July 30, following the Radio 2 Record of the Week ‘P.F Sloan’.

‘Sara Smile’ – originally written and sung by Hall & Oates – is a soulful highlight from Rumer’s impassioned prequel-and-sequel to 2010’s ‘Seasons of My Soul’. With sessions dating back to 2007, and recorded amidst any days off over the last eighteen months, ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ sees the Brit-nominated and Mojo-Award-winning songwriter perform unique interpretations of some of the lesser known tracksfrom the 1970s’: all of which were sung by men. Rumer has recently received plaudits from this daunting cast of characters, having duetted live and recorded with Jimmy Webb and Terry Reid. She is now poised to team up with Daryl Hall this summer, with whom she recently guested on his acclaimed American TV show, ‘Live from Daryl’s House’ (more details TBA).

Summarising the ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ project, Rumer says: “this project is about passion, and paying respect to other people's work. I went on a journey and this music tells that story.”
