Editorial Reviews
The album features some of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's most memorable co-compositions and sees Rumer bring her extensive experience and singular talent to bear on her most enticing undertaking to date. Recorded at the renowned Capitol Studios with accomplished arranger, composer and orchestrator, Rob Shirakbari - THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE includes an appearance by Bacharach himself on piano. To mark the news, Rumer has shared a first track "(They Long To Be) Close To You," with live plans to be announced shortly.
What's most fitting to THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE is the personal relationship between Rumer and Shirakbari. The pair married in 2015 in Shirakbari's native Arkansas after first meeting at a Dionne Warwick gala at the Royal Albert Hall where Rumer was to sing a duet of Bacharach & David's "Hasbrook Heights." With Shirakbari having worked for 25 years with Bacharach and 30 years with Dionne Warwick-serving as musical director to them both-this could even be deemed "a Bacharach romance." It was a natural project for the newly married couple to create together, with both having great respect and reverence for the song catalogue.
Some of the songs on THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE are as familiar as any from the 20th century. Which is why Rumer and Shirakbari decided, in many cases, to remake/remodel them, affording these standards a melancholia that gets right to the emotive core of Bacharach's melodies and David's lyrics. Where before "(They Long to Be) Close to You" might have been slightly wistful, here there is a sense that the lyric's longing is unlikely to be consummated. "The Look of Love" is more sepulchral, with just a taste of the bossa nova tendencies of the '60s versions. "You'll Never Get To Heaven" has all the sophistication of Dionne Warwick's take, but with a new attention to the cautionary narrative of the lyrics. And Rumer has dug deeper into the catalogue to find the hidden treasure "Balance of Nature" and made it her own.

These songs have been covered by The Carpenters, Fifth Dimension, Dionne Warwick to name a few. The songs were all beautiful by the original artists, however Rumer makes them her own on this release. Her voice is just so warming and wonderful to listen to. If you enjoy the sounds of Rumer you will enjoy these classics. She gives each song her own signature style. We the listener are rewarded with yet another beautiful volume of great music!

And indeed it does what it says on the box, but for me there is a spark missing.
The recording is fine, Rumer's voice is as wonderful as ever and the songs are timeless... but it's all just a little too "safe" and middle of the road. This is not an album that is likely to offend anyone ;)
I think it's the arrangements that are lacking; they could have been far more adventurous.
For an example of a great voice, great songs and amazing orchestration I'd recommend Mary Chapin Carpenter's 'Songs From The Movie' album which I recently discovered and is breathtakingly beautiful.
Rumer is a doll, an Angel, just superb and the production values are to die for, the songs sound so fresh.
Silky smooth vocals with Bacharach heritage. Lovely. Whilst the other versions will always be great, this is well worthy of playing instead of and equally as enjoyable or more so due to the use of more recent techniques in recording and manufacturing of media.
