It still seams like a long journey for singer songwriter Clare - who started writing only 8 years ago and recentley her band walked away with 2 LA MUSIC AWARDS for" ARTIST OF THE YEAR" for the power pop song "GIRL" and contemporary song "BEST DRESSER" at the 16th annual Los Angeles Music Awards.
All this sudden unexpected success could shake a introverted, writer like Clare... who is like most artists - very emotional, sensitive, and sometimes prone to....liking her time alone... but with the start of a production company and the signing of a rather large label on the way that might have to change....Clare released her first CD- Heavens Doors in 2004 when lightning struck and the gates parted..since then she has joined with Ralph Meier..very talented, sensitive bass player and writer who walked 10 miles to a Jims House Of Music to buy his first bass on credit at age 11.The band Clare's success is more of a surprise to her than anything seeing she majored in photojournalism and has always been a "visual" person who never wrote a song in her early years. After the death of her father she was at a low point and started writing everything down and yes..found out she was a poet... and a very talented one. So yes there is hope for successful change, the dream that keeps us alive, when we have nothing else to live for- We Keep The Dream Alive!!!Other members include Steve Earl- lead guitar, Niko guitar, Kurt Fries- keyboard, songwriter, engineer and John Maio -Keyboards.
Review of Heavens Doors by Jeremy Chalmers,
Crossrythms
Clare, from California, is a fairly new to the scene but already is showing some strength as far as songwriting goes. The songs are very chilled and slow paced with very thoughtful and love-focused lyrics: check out the words to the songs "The Arms Of Your Love" and also "The Song Love Brings". The sound produced is very delicate and uplifting, heavily reliant upon the atmospheric keyboard. The structure of the songs is simplistic with nothing that seems to stand out straight away, but it is however very emotive and moving. The vocals are very harmonious yet very haunting which seem to grow on you the more you give it a chance. If you like very deep lyrical and chilled out worship with a continuous slow pace to it then Clare could be worth investigating.
Clares new CD- Listen is now available at Bestbuy.com, and most online stores
