The album's release was postponed from 24 April 2020 to 14 August 2020 owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
From Rumer's website:
Southern American folklore tells of song-catchers: individuals who possess a spiritual, almost supernatural, connection to the music of a culture. They gather important songs and preserve them, providing voices to give them life and ensuring they’re remembered.
Rumer is such a song-catcher. Songs written by the British singer, like Slow and Aretha, made her a worldwide million-seller but she also has an unerring instinct for the work of others. On Nashville Tears, Rumer immerses herself in the catalogue of Hugh Prestwood, a songwriter whose name is spoken with reverence by his colleagues. An album to savour, Nashville Tears collects fifteen of Prestwood’s finest songs, many never recorded until now, revealing truths of the heart, both intimate and universal, realistic and romantic.
That’s That is released today, 17 July 2020, as a download and is the final track from Nashville Tears - The Songs Of Hugh Prestwood to be made available ahead of the album's release on 14th August 2020.
And today, 12 May 2020, an Official Lyric Video is released for June It's Gonna Happen.
In an e-mail to fans Rumer comments:
When I first listened through Hugh Prestwood’s catalogue this song really spoke to me. It had such a beautiful lyric coupled with an unusual melody. When I told Hugh himself that I was going to cut it, he actually had to think hard to remember writing it, and he even asked me to send him a copy of it. So it’s a deep a cut as can be! Listening through Hugh’s publishing catalogue was like deep diving for pearls. June for me, is one of those special pearls.
I hope you like it as much as I do!
I am so grateful to all of you for listening and being here.
