TORONTO'S CLAIRE DAVIS SHARES ENTICING NEW SINGLE- "INTUITION"

Toronto-based retro-soul artist Claire Davis shines on her charming and upbeat new single "Intuition", out January 27th 2023, via LRK Records. A love song about trusting your gut, Davis' third single "Intuition" was a collaborative effort between Davis and her primary writing partner and producer, Scott McCannell. When McCannell brought the track to Davis to compose melody and lyrics, she translated the playful quality of the music into the push-and-pull feeling of a budding relationship. Davis explains: "I'm a big proponent of following your gut and not playing games with people. My theory is, you always know what the right move is but we can get in our own way by overthinking. Sometimes in relationships we're scared to say what we feel out of fear, but we always have the answers within us". Another trusted collaborator, composer/arranger La-Nai Gabriel, arranged the soulful background vocals, performed by Aphrose, Tegan Michelle Gordon, and Chynna Lewis. Staying true to soul music's analog roots, the song was recorded straight to a 1-inch 8-track tape machine and showcases some of Toronto's top-tier musicians. Davis continues: "This was a track that really came together fully in the studio once all the musicians were together. Particularly when my percussionist Juan Carlos Medrano felt like the groove could benefit from adding a guiro, we really found the pocket. It quickly became one of my favourite songs on thealbum because of its feel-good vibe, and I'm a sucker for a yearning love song. "Intuition" follows up Davis' most recent 7" vinyl release of "Long Gone"/ "Times Have Changed" on LRK Records and is the third single of her debut LP coming in Spring 2023.
