Rumer's 2012 sophomore effort, Boys Don't Cry, follows up her critically acclaimed 2010 solo debut, Seasons of My Soul. Much like that album, Boys Don't Cry features a '60s and '70s soft rock vibe inspired by such acts as the Carpenters, Burt Bacharach, Elton John, and others. A covers album, it features Rumer's unique take on lesser-known '70s tunes originally sung by male artists including Isaac Hayes, Clifford T. Ward, Todd Rundgren, Townes Van Zandt, and others. Also included is the Jimmy Webb composition and leadoff single "P.F. Sloan."

Professional Reviews

Q (Magazine) (p.109) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Whether they're now regarded as cult heroes or hokey lightweights, each songwriter is honoured, and often improved by Rumer's thoughtful readings."

Uncut (magazine) (p.80) - "BOYS DON'T CRY is a heartfelt, beguiling match of singer and song."
