Claire Richards

I've been waiting for this album since 2001 so I'll definitely buy it, she should never have done the H and Claire album.

Although I'm going to be realistic here and say it probably won't make an impact on the chart and it won't give her secure employment if the latest Steps album is anything to go by.

It will probably be a poorly produced mumsy type album which she'll probably promote with a performance on Loose Woman and that's about it
 
I wouldn't call it "poorly produced" it's being produced by the guy who produced all the hits she's had before with Steps. You can't assume it's going to be rubbish when everything she's done with him has been well received.
 
Finally! I thought this would never happen!

Something like the new Celine Dion album would be good and I'm another one who likes the idea of a Matt Cardle duet. Though could be funny if it was Russell Watson and re-record Someone Like You. Faye might have something to say about that though.

Claire got an amazing reception on the Steps tour with her solo and general public do seem to like her. A summer release could see it doing well in the charts as it won't get lost, and yes a bonus track of One For Sorrow solo is in order!
 
It would be nice done now though as her voice has changed as she's got older (as does everyones) and with a different production could give it an updated feel.

I don't necessarily think it will be "rubbish" I just don't think it will blow me away.

And although I really liked Steps music and the guy who produced it I don't think that sound will have the same impact on me as it did back then.

Hopefully they do something that's right for 2014. I'd be up for One For Sorrow 2.0

Yes. Everyone wants a 40-year-old former Steps member debut solo album.

This'll smash!

Wow, some of the posts in here from four years ago were a...choice.

It definitely seems like this is happening so soon and it's really exciting! Claire's clearly been busy behind the scenes readying this and I can't wait to hear what she has up her sleeve.
 
Please visit the Rita Ora thread when you want to spew your negativity.

I'm 100% here for this, and I can see her actually doing quite well with the right material. She has seemed so happy and invested in her career this era. There's a lot of goodwill now, which was not exactly the case when H&Claire imploded. Bring it on.
