Clairdee's 2000 release, was inspired by two of her favorite artists, Shirley Horn and Nat Cole. This luminous collection of great standards such as "Moonglow," "Star Eyes," and "They Can't Take That Away From Me" introduced Clairdee to audiences across the country. Of DESTINATION MOON journalist Dan Ouellette, Down Beat, wrote, "With moonlit romance in her voice, Clairdee delivers an exquisite reminder that classic tunes with their timeless beauty last forever."

Describing her unique approach to the American Songbook, Clairdee says, "I work with the composer's musical clay, carefully remolding these beautiful songs to illustrate their durability in ways that today's audiences can immediately identify with."

With soothing, alluring vocals that become soft and whisper-like in pockets, Clairdee offers a sexy, come-hither request as she sings "When Lights Are Low." The title song, "Destination Moon," beckons an out-of-this-world trip for two, while "My Future Just Passed" recalls the thrill of love-at-first-sight. The disc concludes with "Beautiful Friendship," a tale of falling in love with a friend and the joyous discovery of reciprocal love.

So, light the candles, slip into something comfortable and get romanced with Clairdee and DESTINATION MOON.
