Claire Richards - My Wildest Dreams (Debut Solo Album)

Well, almost kinda 5th single off the album... which i guess is way more than most popstars get out these days.

Personally, I'd have released 7 Billion over Shame On You. And Don't Leave Me In This Love Alone in place of End Before We Start.

 

Yeah, the singles actually released weren't the right choices.

 

Maybe I need to give the album another go. Outside of a couple of the "singles" I only listened in full maybe twice as it just felt a bit too MOR.

But Claire is amazing as a vocalist so maybe as a few of you said it's a grower....

 

Solid album but I would have gone with the following singles:
On My Own
7 Billion
Ruins
Wildest Dreams

 

On My Own
Don’t Leave Me In This Love Alone
Shame On You
7 Billion
Wildest Dreams

would have been my choice. Though I love the remix of My Heart Is Heading Home

 

On My Own
End Before We Start
Shame On You
7 Billion

In my opinion Claire’s single run was amazing I wouldn’t change a thing my favourite single is Shame on you

 

I love the entire album but the singles run could have been better. End Before We Start is a great song but second single it is not. My run would be:

On My Own
Don’t Leave Me In This Love Alone
7 Billion
These Wings
Brave

 

On My Own
Don't Leave Me In This Love Alone (Or These Wings)
My Heart Is Heading Home*
7 Billion
My Wildest Dreams


*Assuming the album was still delayed and they need to put the Xmas single out

 

That was one of my requests. That song always makes me well up.

 

In other news, just before lockdown her husband posted about her being "in the studio", I wonder if she's planning on a follow up after Steps. She does seem to be really invested in singing 'full time' again, finally!

 

Perfection!

 

I can't stop listening to Said It All.

Its like it was written for her, its perfect.

 

Sorry for the bump, I found these instrumental versions of My Wildest Dreams on YouTube which I hadn't heard before, shame it's not the full album. Beautiful arrangements!

 

Oooh not even the splitter.ai versions.

Where's My Wildest Dreams and Don't Leave Me In This Love Alone

*edit, My Wildest Dreams

Steve Anderson, you're a genus.

 

Fingers crossed more will leak and they also have some Steps stuff!
