“Clare has a timeless sound to her voice and classic touch and sound to her own songwriting. Now how modern is that? Music to melt to I’d say.” – Jamie Cullum

“Ladies and gents, I’d like to introduce someone that I’m a fan of. She’s a threat! When I say a threat, she’s a triple threat – she writes, she sings and she can do like a fire thing right!? Please go out and buy Clare Teal’s record! – Michael Bublé

“The new first lady of Jazz” – The Independent

“A First Class Evening’s Entertainment from The Queen of Swing” – Time Out

“In this overcrowded field, Clare Teal deserves special attention” – Daily Telegraph,

“Fabulous” – Daily Mail,

“This is as good as they come” – Jazzwise,

“Always worth hearing….. When she sings swing songs, she does it with a smile in her voice; when she sings a ballad, she trusts the song to tell its own story without emoting all over it” – Observer,

“[Get Happy]… heralds the arrival of a major new talent… If we rave about it, it’s because it’s worth raving about” – Michael Parkinson, BBC Radio 2,

“Some singers sing standards, some sing their own material, but very few do both and even fewer do it well. Clare Teal is one of those rarities” – The Observer
