TORONTO'S CLAIRE DAVIS SHARES HER SMASHING DEBUT LP "GET IT RIGHT"

Toronto-based retro-soul artist Claire Davis shares her journey of self-worth and love on

her debut album "Get it Right", out April 21st 2023, via LRK Records.

This lively 10-track analog soul LP was recorded to an 8-track tape machine by engineer

Braden Sauder in a converted garage- studio in Toronto, owned by the renowned instrumental

jazz/hip-hop group, BADBADNOTGOOD. Featuring some of the city's top-flight musicians in

the R&B/Soul scene, the album was laid down live-off-the-floor in one week during the winter of

2022.

Davis shares, "My heart really lies in live performance so I wanted to recreate that experience

as much as possible for this record by having the musicians all record together to tape. I feel

like I personally thrive under the limitations that tape gives you; it offers the opportunity to

capture a vibe of a performance more so than chasing perfection. Knowing that my favourite

soul records were recorded this way gives me an even deeper appreciation for the skill and

talent involved in this process."

"Get it Right" is a record born out of the faith that there's better things on the other side of fear.

Whether that's breaking toxic cycles or being truly honest about what is and isn't working in life.

The first song written for the record was the title-track of the album which began as a jam

between Davis on guitar, producer Scott McCannell on bass, and drummer Chino deVilla. "The

lyrics were inspired by my relationship with my partner and the intention that we both have to

work on healing ourselves in order to make our partnership work. I'd like to think that it's a love

song with a strong sense of maturity and understanding to it. And the whole record was really

shaped around that idea of my relationships and experiences stemming from my own sense of

self-love and my desire to live and create from an authentic place."

The songs on the album feature co-writes from Scott McCannell, Kyla Charter, and Toronto

production house Safe Spaceship Music, in addition to horn and background vocal

arrangements by composer La-Nai Gabriel. Musicians include Heather Crawford on guitar,

Scott McCannell on bass, Adrian Hogan on keys, Chino de Villa on drums, Juan Carlos

Medrano on percussion, Aphrose, Tegan Michelle Gordon and Chynna Lewis on

background vocals, and horn section The Northern Soul Horns.

"Get it Right" follows up Davis' most recent 7" vinyl release of "Long Gone"/ "Times

Have Changed" and most recent single release "Intuition" on LRK Records.

She's one hell of a singer! - Huey Morgan BBC Radio Six

The album flows softly on the velvety notes of a mature but polite and gentle soul. The disc fits into the vein of romantic soul in the footsteps of Carla Thomas, Doris Duke and The Sha La Das. - Rockerilla Magazine (Italy) Gianni Tarello

The 10 tracker is quality, contemporary soul from start to finish - Billy Buckley Soul&Jazz&Funk Magazine

Claire Davis has won an audience by authentically bringing back the classic soul sounds of the 1960s ‘70s soul. And the Canadian singer continues to show her chops as a powerful, soulful singer and songwriter with her upcoming album, Get It Right. - Soultracks

I think her music is going to be one of those that grows and grows..... - Karen Gabay BBC Manchester
