Claire Maguire // Disappointment


A while ago I wrote a post about my disappointment at UK pop. Add another to the list. And, the worst part is, its obviously not even her fault. Way back in January 2009, I first heard Claire Maguire's 'Strangest Thing' and it was this stripped down, emotional track that I had in the same bracket as the early Marina and the Diamonds and Ellie Goulding. They have both gone on to be somewhat average. Then I heard the new, final, polished track. Excitement levels were high. This, however, is overproduced shit. It's probably out on Neon Gold sometime if you really want it.

With some pain, the new one:
Claire Maguire : Strangest Thing (NEW)

And the original:
Claire Maguire : Strangest Thing (Original)

Crushed.
