June 28, 20232 yr I like Claire and think she has a great voice. Her first solo album was quite good but after listening to I surrender I don’t think I’ll be buying this album. The original by Celine is great but I don’t like Claire’s version. I’m disappointed the songs will all be covers.
June 28, 20232 yr #15 on iTunes :cheer: Also the Deluxe version of the album is £4.99 to pre-order on iTunes too which will help sales!
June 28, 20232 yr The disparity between the £4.99 iTunes download and the £18.99 deluxe CD is rather :drama: but oh well, take my money, Claire :kink:
June 29, 20232 yr The disparity between the £4.99 iTunes download and the £18.99 deluxe CD is rather :drama: but oh well, take my money, Claire :kink: This! :lol: Downloads are like cassettes now - an unused format to mobalise the fanbase into multiple purchases.
June 29, 20232 yr Just seen in the subtitle that this is out in 3023 :rofl: *Edits* :kink: Iconic. So ahead of its time!
June 29, 20232 yr The production on this could be a bit livelier, it feels a bit plodding. A remix could fix this.
June 29, 20232 yr I Surrender is one of my favourite songs of all time and I’m so happy we finally have an official Studio Version for Claire!
June 29, 20232 yr I feel like this sounded like a big song when she sang it on tour, this version kind of dulls it down for me, feels flat. Edited June 29, 20232 yr by Simon.
June 29, 20232 yr I feel like this sound like a big song when she sang it on tour, this version kind of dulls it down for me, feels flat. Have to agree - on tour it was literally a :o moment and doesn’t have the same impact with a recording.
June 30, 20232 yr Yeah it's a bit bland tbh. Again I just cannot get into her voice on it's own, I need the harmony of others around her otherwise she grates on me a little.
July 1, 20232 yr Also not great, not bad. Don’t think she has the biggest budget. I must say she looks great :heart:
July 1, 20232 yr aIts not a bad video, obviously the budget is small but its good that it has a video.
July 1, 20232 yr Not a terrible video considering she doesn’t have the backing of Sony for this album like she did with the first. Seems like it’s a very much self funded operation in collaboration with Demon Music, the budget appears to have been poured into multi formatting, I thought Steps label BMG may have been interested in working with Claire as a solo artist after the success the band has had with them.
