Clare Maguire is the latest “raw and real” singer to lose her edge somewhere between money-hungry meetings with Rick Rubin and Jay-Z and a major label debut (Light After Dark, in this case) that drowns whatever promise she once had in the high gloss production values of a “hitmaker” who’s worked with Britney, Kylie, and, um, Keane. Or as the Guardian put it in a recent review, “Maguire is another startling talent whose every point of interest has been sandblasted off between being signed and getting her album out.”
Since Light After Dark has no set U.S. release date yet (it’s available through Polydor overseas), we thought we’d share a Teengirl Fantasy remix that taps Maguire’s true potential…
