WONGIE COVER OF THE WEEK: rumer - alfie (rumer sings bacharach at christmas)

rumer - alfie (rumer sings bacharach at christmas)
[oh my GOD, rumer's voice is just PERFECT for the music of bacharach!!!! taken off the upcoming xmas collaboration single 'rumer sings bacharach at christmas', rumer covers the classic 'alfie' for the masses! throw in the fact that 'alfie' is one of bacharach's hardest songs ever... and that rumer just breezes through it like it was written for her... then finally admit that rumer really is a modern day dusty springfield incarnate... and you pretty much guess my excitement for this gal. yaaay!]

WONGIE DISCOVERY: rumer - aretha / slow (live @ later with jools holland)

rumer - aretha
[here's something interesting, a vocalist getting buzz based on her voice! the smoothness and gentleness that is on offer just brushes your face and you can just see yourself snuggling against it. already championed by the likes of burt bacharach and elton john, there is a definite old soul vibe here channeling through the spirit of dusty springfield and karen carpenter. with winter incoming, i have a good idea who will be a big part of my soundtrack! bliss!]


rumer - slow (live @ later with jools holland)
[damn, she sounds amazing live!]
