UK singer/songwriter Rumer will be releasing her fifth studio album ‘Nashville Tears’ on April 24, with the album being released on the label Cooking Vinyl. You can pre-order the album here.
The album itself will be a cover album of sorts, with all 15 songs being written by Hugh Prestwood – a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer –and some of the tracks that are included are songs written by Prestwood, but never saw the light of day.
Speaking about the record, Rumer said that she hopes that her new album will introduce people to a huge influence on her career and that she has every faith that they will appreciate that.
“I can’t wait for more music lovers to discover Hugh Prestwood’s magnificent catalogue,” Rumer said. “I know without a doubt they’ll be as grateful as I am to have found him.”
In addition to releasing the album, Rumer will be heading out on a brief tour to support ‘Nashville Tears’, which is only four dates in length but will see her perform in two countries and there is expected to be a bigger tour announced later this year.
Rumer will be playing:
May 14 – Town Hall, Birmingham, England
May 16 – The Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, England
May 17 – Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, England
May 19 – Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland
Tickets will go on sale to the public on February 7.
