Recently I've been listening to a lot of blue-eyed soul from artists old and new. One from the new stable is Rumer. Her debut album 'Seasons Of My Soul' from 2010 was a mixture of classic soul and easy listening pop. She can bring to mind everyone from Dusty Springfield (the queen of blue-eyed soul), Carole King, Karen carpenter and Laura Nyro... which isn't a bad thing. "On My Way Home" is more on the easy listening side - but it's her soulful voice that won me over. Mainstream but without being bland. A suitable analogy for "On My Way Home" would be "It's like a Big Mac but without the cheese".
