SECOND ALBUM CRAZYMAD, FOR ME OUT OCTOBER 13TH

"Working-class guys, gals and non-binary pals are thrilled to have found an artist who properly feels like one of them, reveling in all the same pop culture references and self-deprecation" - The Guardian

"Mournful, accessible, and emotionally literate in a way that’s ever so charming" 

- Time Out

"An artist whose songs bundle big emotions and grand ambition with a comedy writer's understanding of a good one-liner." 

- The Fader

Tuesday, September 5 -- CMAT blazes towards the release of her highly-anticipated second album with the personal post-mortem "Stay For Something" - a power pop blast of self-introspection gussied up in her most stadium-sized clothes to date.

CMAT on "Stay For Something": “It's basically just about questioning why I stayed / suffered in a bad relationship for as long as I did. Trying to desperately find some kind of leaning in the mess and then being embarrassed when I remember the good parts. It's not very lyrical or poetic, it's just a lot of emotion and energy - this song, to me, sounds like going for a run at 1 am with your headphones on full blast, screaming through the streets in order to get away from your problems. I hope that at least one person does that when they hear it.”

The single - produced by Matias Téllez - debuted as a Hottest Record In The World on Clara Amfo’s BBC Radio 1 earlier today, with the James Slater-directed video premiering on her YouTube channel immediately after.

The release follows a busy summer for CMAT: a breakout Glastonbury moment on the Woodsies stage, followed by a solo acoustic number post-Elton John on the BBC’s live coverage; a Spotify billboard in Times Square; two huge outdoor supports to Florence and the Machine and her first festival headline at Otherside in her native Ireland, plus festivals across the UK and Europe.

CMAT has announced further live dates, including a three-date solo run across North America, an extensive UK in-store tour, and a third date at The Olympia in Dublin, which goes on sale this Friday, September 08 at 10 am.

CMAT’s new album, the 12-track ‘Crazymad, For Me’ - out via AWAL Recordings on October 13 - is “an abstract break-up album - about what happens when you are still angry about something that happened 10 years ago”. It’s also a concept record of sorts - involving time travel, Belle Epoque Paris, and a woman who may or may not be CMAT in the future. The album is available to pre-order now via www.cmatbaby.com. A run of UK instores has been announced which will feature CMAT performing and signing copies of the new record.
