When Clare Maguire releases her new single, “The Shield and The Sword,” on May 9th, we’ll also be treated to some HOT new remixes of the already amazing track. The song was co-written and produced by Fraser T. Smith AND features an EPIC video directed by Hope Audikana, which you can watch below in case you missed it my original post. “The Shield and The Sword” is the third single lifted off of Maguire’s Top Ten hit record, Light After Dark which debuted at #7 on the UK Albums Chart when it was released at the end of February. Maguire’s last single, the equally stunning “The Last Dance” peaked at #23 on the UK Singles Chart. While she’s expected to release her album stateside until later this year, U.S. fans can download her first two singles on iTunes HERE.
