Claire Littley has brought her own soulful flair to the classic “Wishing On A Star,” offering a heartfelt rendition that highlights her artistry.
Released on November 15, 2024, this reimagined version pays homage to the timeless track originally performed by Rose Royce and written by Billie Rae Calvin, while introducing a fresh perspective shaped by Littley’s personal interpretation.
In this cover, Littley channels the universal emotions of hope, love, and longing, themes that have resonated with listeners across decades. Her choice to create a “vulnerable” vocal performance accompanied by a “chilled soulful arrangement” transforms the track into a deeply intimate experience.
Drawing from the act of “wishing on a star” as a metaphor for aspirations and desires, Littley aims to connect with audiences on a personal level, bridging the emotional weight of the original with her nuanced artistry.
Littley not only lent her evocative voice to the project but also took charge of its arrangement, production, and mastering. Supported by the contributions of Gail James on drums, Stef Kelk on piano, and Teresa Morini on bass, the track embodies a collaborative spirit that complements its introspective tone.
Her cover is a must-listen for both fans of the original and those discovering the song for the first time, providing a fresh tribute that honours the legacy of “Wishing On A Star” while showcasing Claire Littley’s unique musical vision.
