“Few sing as purely and unusually as Claire Porter. It’s enough to hear her voice, phrasing, accents, melodic clarity, and the seriousness of her song themes to realize: she’s a truly outstanding performer! Although “Time Alone” is technically her debut album, it leaves the impression of a solid work from a mature and talented artist. All that remains is to celebrate the Canadian music scene and wish Claire Porter continued success.”
