"Wonderful songs with strong melodies...They are fresh and full of passion and conviction."
--George David Weiss, President, Songwriter's Guild of America
"The disc came without the usual fanfare - no record company hype - straight from the artist herself. Just judging by one listen to "Heaven," "You Kill Me," and "Human" it's clear that Cooper's got the potential to make it in the big leagues. Her solid pop sensibility, a warm and inviting vocal style, and way with words should definitely land her a deal. Why she hasn't been picked up by a label yet is a mystery to me." --AQUARIAN WEEKLY

NEW YORK POST
55 Grove Street: Rick Crom's revue, "Our Life and Times" has pulled audiences Saturdays at 8 p.m. for over a year. Before the show, enjoy Clare Cooper, who starts at 6 p.m. in the piano bar downstairs. She'll make you feel she's someone you grew up with, as she mixes familiar oldies with originals drawn from her life experiences. You'll hear, intermixed with the nostalgia, something real as she shares originals about the first friend she had who died, or piano lessons from Fair Lawn, N.J.'s Mrs. Galante (praying for strength to cope with that Cooper girl; Mrs. G. had wanted more from life). From swim team to a man throwing down roses and crushing them on Houston Street, Cooper can offer her own glimpses of our life and times. - NY Post
