Premiere: Claire Davis - Times Have Changed

The Cups N Cakes Network is very excited to deliver an exclusive premiere of the forthcoming single from Toronto-based retro-soul artist Claire Davis. The song is called “Times Have Changed” and is the second single from Davis’ forthcoming album, Get it Right, set for release in Spring 2023 via LRK Records.

The single is a collaborative effort with Davis and fellow soul artist Kyla Charter teaming up to compose the melody and lyrics while Toronto production house Safe Spaceship (Scott McCannell, Chino de Villa, and Ben MacDonald) arranged the music. La-Nai Gabriel put on the finishing touches by writing the horn arrangements. What they crafted champions a bygone time with warm retro sounds punctuated by Davis’ powerful vocals.

Regarding the meaning behind the track, Davis shares:

"The lyrics are a very real account of me trying to figure out my path in life- realizing that I am the one who needs to break toxic cycles in my family and be in charge of my own healing for myself and future generations. There's a lot of pain in that newfound awareness as it's easy to feel overwhelmed and lonely in the process; but the more I've invested in myself, the more hopeful I've become. The idea that we don't have to be tied to anyone else's journey or choices is a very freeing thing and something I am avidly chasing. I imagine there are many people who would resonate with this message and I hope it inspires them to doubt themselves a little less and love themselves a little more."
