This live album can serve as a great introduction or compilation to Rumer and her body of work. The British/Pakistani singer-songwriter performed at London's Club Lafayette in the winter of 2020. In addition to five songs from her latest album
Nashville Tears (2020), she also sang hits from her previous albums. No fewer than three from her debut album
Seasons Of My Soul (2010), four from
Into Colour… (2014) and one from her EP Love Is The Answer. Romer's dark, velvety singing voice and laid-back, midtempo songs feel like a soothing warm bath for the listener. Her bandmates Darren Hodgson (guitar), Diego Rodriguez (bass), Alex Torjussen (drums), Barry Wickens (guitar, dobro, mandolin, fiddle) and Rumer's husband Rob Shirakbari (keyboards) provide excellent atmospheric accompaniment.
