Her debut solo album, “Child of the Earth”, contains songs specially written for her by Bernard J Taylor.

"A voice so true it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end." - Lancashire Evening Telegraph, January 25, 1994.

"What a belter!" - Manchester Evening News.

"Great voice, great songs, great production. It sent shivers down my spine." - Al Cleveland (veteran Motown record producer and songwriter, whose hits include I Second That Emotion)

"-- (Bernard Taylor) has given the album lavish production values and strong arrangements that make Moore seem as if she could be pop music's next diva. She's terrific, with a distinctive, expressive voice that brings out the best in Taylor's songs." - Show Music, Volume 1, Number 4.

"A voice that is quite astounding, effortlessly soaring from a soft purr to an electrifying higher plane. That power and intensity pins you back in your seat and leaves you breathless with admiration. . . . The songs are of a universally high standard"
- Mike Gibb, Masquerade, Issue 13.

"'Child of the Earth" is a genuine experience and vocal tour de force during which Claire reveals the range and panache of Streisand and the warmth of a blues diva. Simply sensational!" - Jewish Gazette, February 4, 1994.

"This (album) would be equally at home in the charts. In fact some of the ballads would probably top the charts." - Manchester Evening News, January 14, 1994.
