Chris Turnbull Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The strings come on a bit like Gloria Scott 'Lovemaking' - would have been a good cover 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stateside Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sutty Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like Fleetwood Mac to me, can't hear much soul content just pleasant-ish radio-friendly MOR sounds 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pow wow mik Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winnie :-) Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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.

Soulstu Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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.
