Claire Richards has left her fans feeling euphoric after announcing the release date of her eagerly awaited second studio album, Euphoria.
Euphoria sees Claire celebrating some of the most iconic female performers ever Celine, Whitney, Cher, Donna, Olivia and her idol Karen Carpenter.
The album is almost entirely uptempo and was produced by long-time collaborator Steve Anderson. For Euphoria Claire wanted to find songs she could really make her own, the album features stunning renditions of Song for the Lonely (made famous by Cher), This Time I Know it’s for Real (Donna Summer), Xanadu (Olivia Newton-John), Gloria (Laura Branigan), Never Knew Love Like This Before (Stephanie Mills) and Love Is a Battlefield (Pat Benatar). The album also features a couple of electrifying duets. Claire joins forces with Erasure’s Andy Bell on a cover of Abba’s Summer Night City and Australian pop queen Delta Goodrem for a show-stopping cover of No More Tears (Enough Is Enough), where both get to show off their amazing vocals.
The title, Euphoria – and sense of intense pleasure it promises – captures what the album means to her and what she hopes it will mean to fans. “Every single song is a banger – listening to this album just makes me feel good,” she says. “I want everyone to whack it on before they go out and get themselves completely in the zone of having a good time”.
