The day is here at last: CMAT has announced details of her debut album.
Having swiftly established herself as short of a revelation over the last couple of years, the Dublin-based artist will release If My Wife New I’d Be Dead via AWAL Recordings on February 25th, 2022.
Including previously-released singles including ‘I Wanna Be a Cowboy, Baby!’ and ‘I Don’t Really Care For You,’ news of the 12-track album comes accompanied by the release of new single ‘No More Virgos’. In textbook CMAT fashion, it’s forward-pushing, earworming pop at its very best.
“I’m the kind of girl who dates the same person over and over again,” says CMAT, aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson. “Specifically, every single one of my partners have been Virgos. I wanted to write a song that pokes fun at this aspect of my personality, and try to be a voice for all of my long-suffering friends. Musically, I really wanted to try and marry my love of 80’s Italo disco with my hatred of Virgos. I just can’t help myself from making terrible decisions sometimes! Sorry!”
