Track of the Year by Clare Maguire

Clare Maguire
The Last Dance
Light After Dark

I'd like to thank the BBC for introducing me to Clare Maguire. The Birmingham-born singer was nominated for the Sound of 2011 poll - and after Youtubing her soon after, I realised what a 'sound' she truly was. Maguire has one of the most powerful voices I've heard and although debut single 'Ain't Nobody' showing how variant she could be with it - 'The Last Dance' is just a true emotional belter of a release. Written following the death of superstar Michael Jackson, 'The Last Dance' is packed full of emotions and watching the singer perform the track live brings a tear to my eye. "I'll save my last dance for you" is the stand-out lyric from the track though and although released in February, I can see this song staying with for a long, long time. Below is the official cover for the single release - of which the EP featured an incredible remix from Gods: Chase & Status!
