Brown has described Seasons of My Soul as "a kind of emotional Trojan horse" and he is right. The glide and tinkle of the schmaltzier numbers here, like "Slow", a single, often obscure the complexity of feeling lurking in Rumer's songs. Despite his co-write on Aretha, Steve Brown echoes Ennis's words. "I added some chords to it, but that was it. She offered me publishing on the song. I refused twice before finally relenting." Brown's role in Rumer's story is well-documented elsewhere. He has spent decades composing music for several comedy shows, including Steve Coogan's Knowing Me Knowing You. It was Brown's serendipitous encounter with Rumer at an open-mic night that led to Seasons of My Soul. Between shifts working as a concierge at the newly opened Apple Store, Rumer would be allowed to use his studio. Brown became her de facto producer.

Rumer – 'Am I Forgiven' – Music Video". YouTube. 11 February 2011. Archived from the original on 21 December 2021 . Retrieved 15 July 2012.Rumer received a personal note from Richard Carpenter regarding her debut album, "You not only sing beautifully," writes Carpenter, "but what you've created is actually musical, something that has been in short supply in recent years. The fact that the album is a sales success as well is reassuring to me, as I still firmly believe that if the public is exposed to music that is natural and of high quality, they will respond positively. Congratulations". [24] In fairness, Rumer seems to be bearing his attentions bravely: as she pointed out to one interviewer, Prescott's Guardian blog about her carefully and correctly analysed the lyrics of her languid, beautiful single Slow, which is more than you can say for the PM, apparently steadfast in the belief that the Jam's The Eton Rifles was a hearty thumbs up for the public school system. A few days later, Rumer found herself at another funeral – a friend of the family – and found she simply "couldn't get home". Months before her death, her mother had attended a gathering in Dorset run by a Benedictine monk who had started a Hindu-Christian ashram in India. For reasons she didn't entirely understand, Rumer boarded a train to the country pile where her mother had been – a commune owned by a "charismatic, philanthropic baronet" – and simply stayed until she felt well enough to leave.

Rumer has been trying to reach the sunny uplands of a music career for a decade, as Stereo Venus, Sarah Joyce, Rumer and the Denials, and as part of indie band La Honda. It seems that some of Seasons's songs have been around nearly as long. But their definitive, lush, classic treatment came as a result of meeting Steve Brown, best known as Glenn Ponder, the leader of Alan Partridge's house band on Knowing Me, Knowing You, but also a TV composer of note.

[1] The album peaked to number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, it also charted in 11 countries including Australia, New Zealand, France, Sweden and Switzerland.
