Clare Maguire - Ain't Nobody - Sound of 2011

Say hello to Clare Maguire, she'll be taking over your iTunes in 2011. Debut single Ain't Nobody is a slice of heaven with some hellish undertones. We're obsessed by her voice and the bassline. Not to mention how stunning the video is. Clare moved from Birmingham to London when she was 17 (5 years ago), worked in Top Shop and spent her evenings creating demos and posting on MySpace. Three years later she was having drinks with Jay-Z, who really liked her demos. Her voice reminds us of Alison Moyet, and that's a huge compliment of course. But, Clare feels like an artist in her own right, and we think 2011 holds great things for her. Click here for the beautiful live version from St Luke's Church in London from just a few weeks ago.
