Clare Cunningham Returns with Emotional New Single--Special Guest Steve Cropper
NASHVILLE – July 3, 2020 - Irish-born singer songwriter Clare Cunningham releases her much anticipated single, “Heart Of Mine” today via all major digital outlets. The track features legendary guitarist Steve Cropper. Recorded in Nashville, the song is just the first from her upcoming album set for release in early 2021.
Cunningham penned the song with co-writer Jon D’Agostino “There are always tough times and long roads, especially in the world we live in today,” Cunningham says. “We will go through heartbreak and struggle inevitably throughout our lives, but with this song I want to let people know that it’s okay to just trust your heart and it will guide you and give you the answers when you surrender and need it most."
Cropper caught wind of Cunningham and offered to be a part of the recording. “I truly enjoyed playing on Clare’s track because she has such a tremendous voice, no matter what song she is performing,” Cropper comments. “She makes me want to play because she sings with passion and feeling. You know you’re getting a true performance.”
Cunningham has made her career in rock and metal bands, and was particularly successful as the lead singer of the all-female Swedish rock quintet Thundermother. The band had major international chart success and signed with Warner Music Sweden for their first album Rock n Roll Disaster. Following the release of their second album, Road Fever, the band signed with Despotz Records (Sweden) and garnered support from artists such as Mötorhead, Airbourne, D.A.D, Zakk Wylde, Halestorm, Michael Monroe, In Flames, Opeth, Danko Jones and many more, meanwhile touring all over Europe playing some of the most prestigious festivals including Sweden Rock Festival, Bravalla, Alcatraz, and Getaway Rock Festival.
In 2018 Cunningham relocated to the U.S. to focus more on her songwriting and solo career. Making an impact with her great vocal range, she has received industry support and is wrapping up the recording of her upcoming project at the iconic RCA Studios, and with the support of some of the town’s top musicians including Cropper, Audley Freed/guitar (Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Black Crowe’s, Joe Perry), Steve Mackey/bass (Peter Frampton, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton) and Jared Kneale/drums (Lauren Daigle, Kacey Musgraves).
