Claire Davis Get It Right

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.
