Clare Maguire provided the backdrop to a stunning new Burberry collection "Patchwork, Pattern & Prints" and even performed a new song 'Give Me' specifically written for the event.
She also performed 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', 'House of the Rising Sun' and 'My Sweet Lord'.
Music-News.com was at the show and managed to grab an exclusive interview just as she closed the 16 minute show to great applause. Scroll down to view the uncut interview below.
Maquire was rated in fifth place in the BBC Sound of 2011 list of the top 15 most promising new artists. She was also singled out as one of MTV's Brand New: For 2011 Acts. Her voice has been compared to Stevie Nicks and Annie Lennox.
Born in Birmingham in 1987, the former shop assistant wrote her first song at age seven, and after building up a loyal following through her MySpace page, she sparked a major-label bidding war involving Jay-Z before signing to Polydor Records in 2009.
She recorded her debut album with Mark Ronson, turning down tracks offered to her by Plan B and Jarvis Cocker in the process. After supporting Hurts on their U.K. tour and winning a Q Award for Next Big Thing, she released her debut single, "Ain't Nobody," in 2010, with her first album, Light After Dark, following in early 2011.
Since then Maguire has been working on her second studio album and has released a series of EPs, the latest of which was her critically acclaimed self-titled EP, find out more below.
