SHE’S the singing sensation who has already been compared to the legendary Karen Carpenter.

Now Rumer is performing live at the Soul Cellar in Wave 105’s next Up Close and Personal Gig on Monday.

The 31-year old singer/songwriter from the New Forest is the voice behind Slow and has just released Aretha, from her debut album, Seasons of My Soul.

Rumer is the professional name of Sarah Joyce. Her stage name was inspired by the author Rumer Godden.

When Rumer was discovered by Burt Bacharach, he paid for her flight to California so he could hear her sing.

The intimate gig is only open to Wave 105 and Echo ticket winners.
