"Claudia has that rare quality, a voice that is a pleasure to listen to, whatever she chooses to sing.
She invests lyrics with a meaning that would thrill the lyricist.
Love and Demons is an eclectic mixture of mainly show songs that Claudia sprinkles with her own undoubted talent."

"The debut release by former West End performer Claudia Morris is delightful. Each track is laced with honesty and sincerity from a truly talented woman with a very interesting back story. Her return to music was confirmed by a poignant dream where she was faced with the scenario of drawing herself as sad or a singer- she chose the latter reaffirming that she really is destined to perform.
Stand out tracks include her fantastic take on Straight Up and Fly Right and the very moving The Rose. Available to buy now from January."
"A stage school graduate, Ms Morris did her stint in musical theatre, before turning her back on the stage, training as a psychotherapist, before a dream driven return to her first love.
This album of standards (plus one new song), sees her rich, clear voice taking on songs by Rodgers & Hart, Hammerstein and others, in a small band environment. It's a thoroughly enjoyable release with the highlights 'Johnny One Note', a sprightly 'Straighten Up And Fly Right', and a brave and convincing take on 'The Rose'."
Review of Love & Demons on Zeitgeist
"With her west end performance background, Claudia brings added sensation to these already emotive covers and I particularly liked 'I've Never Been In Love Before.' Claudia's passion to perform enables her to truly capture the essence of the stage in this album. She is certainly returning to centre stage with 'Love & Demons', released in February 2010."
Review of Love & Demons by Daniel Elseph, The Review Centre
"It has been a great pleasure to work with Claudia on her debut album. Love & Demons explores a wide range of music styles reflecting Claudia's love of song. She couples a strong sense of style and performance with a deep understanding of the lyrics and narrative. Whether it be musical theatre, jazz or country there is a unity between her tone and delivery. Claudia is a determined character and talented vocalist and I am thrilled to be a part of her band. "
Simon Colam
"Claudia Morris is remarkable. Not only has she a truly beautiful, rich and wonderfully expressive voice, which is already thrilling her audiences, but also she has an enormous drive and energy to create to her best.
In times of so-called 'instant fame', I find it deeply refreshing to know that she really stands to succeed because of her ability and dedication. The public know when they hear something good and it comes from those artists who are driven to create the most beautiful and polished performances.
The public are going to want a lot more of Claudia and I see Claudia going all the way."

"Hi ya Claudia
What I enjoyed was your selection of songs, their different styles. Romantic, Musical, Carol King and even a country and western number!
The venue was surprisingly good too, quite classy and intimate..
Carry on singing"
"I went to support Claudia at Lauderdale House when she gave her first public performance in 18 years.... I was totally awe-inspired....Claudia is a beautifully natural jazz/blues singer who has the ability to sing a wide range of songs. Song after song, some known to me, and some that Claudia will clearly make her own, sung with deep emotion and clarity. The style is simple, very sophisticated and rare, one voice, complemented perfectly by a quartet that enhances every note sung. It was so perfectly delivered.
Claudia you have the ability to capture the hearts of the audience listening to you, and holding them in your hands. You do not have to change anything about your style, just ensure you keep singing. You have a very rare talent. "

"Yesterday I really enjoyed your concert. Your fantastic voice impressed me so much! Your repertoire of songs is so nice. Killing me softly” has been so popular in my country, because it has been used for CM of Nescafe since I was child. It reminded me of my younger days.
Good luck your next concert."
