about

Toronto-based retro-soul artist Claire Davis shines on her charming and upbeat new single "Intuition", out January 27th 2023, via LRK Records.

A love song about trusting your gut, Davis’ third single "Intuition" was a collaborative effort between Davis and her primary writing partner and producer, Scott McCannell. When McCannell brought the track to Davis to compose melody and lyrics, she translated the playful quality of the music into the push-and-pull feeling of a budding relationship. Davis explains: "I’m a big proponent of following your gut and not playing games with people. My theory is, you always know what the right move is but we can get in our own way by overthinking. Sometimes in relationships we’re scared to say what we feel out of fear, but we always have the answers within us”.

Another trusted collaborator, composer/arranger La-Nai Gabriel, arranged the soulful background vocals, performed by Aphrose, Tegan Michelle Gordon, and Chynna Lewis. Staying true to soul music’s analog roots, the song was recorded straight to a 1-inch 8-track tape machine and showcases some of Toronto’s top-tier musicians. Davis continues: “This was a track that really came together fully in the studio once all the musicians were together. Particularly when my percussionist Juan Carlos Medrano felt like the groove could benefit from adding a guiro, we really found the pocket. It quickly became one of my favourite songs on the album because of its feel-good vibe, and I’m a sucker for a yearning love song."

"Intuition" follows up Davis' most recent 7” vinyl release of “Long Gone”/ "Times Have Changed" on LRK Records and is the third single of her debut LP coming in Spring 2023.

lyrics

All you want baby you can have
All this time we’re wasting can’t get it back
Ain’t a doubt that we can make it last
So make it sweet, Don’t hold back

You got what I been missing
So come get it
If you got the ambition

I won’t question your decision
So come on,
Use your intuition, babe

Fell asleep with you spinning round my head
All the things that we felt but never said
Thinking of you makes me break out in a sweat
Do all I can to keep my heart inside my chest

You got what I been missing
So come get it
If you got the ambition

I won’t question your decision
So come on,
Use your intuition, babe
Don’t be leaving me feeling this way

Over and over we keep going back and forth
Making and breaking up but who is keeping score
If you let me I can give you what you need
Give me the go ahead and I will take the lead

You got what I been missing
So come get it
If you got the ambition

I won’t question your decision
So come on,
Use your intuition, babe
Don’t be leaving me feeling this way
