CMAT, aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, has announced her second album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'If My Wife New I'd Be Dead' is called 'Crazymad, For Me' and will arrive on October 13 via AWAL.
Alongside the news, the Irish singer-songwriter has shared a piano-led alt-pop track called Have Fun!, which follows the record's lead single, Whatever's Inconvenient, released in April.
Head below to view the new song's accompanying video, which was shot in Dublin and Paris, and directed by Greg Purcell. Thompson said:
"This is a song about ring necked parakeets that are wild in London, but it is also a song about getting over a breakup and moving on from an emotional stalemate even when you don’t, or can’t, forgive the other person’s actions. I suppose it is a song about how things in life are never satisfying, and don’t make sense, but they exist anyway and we have to make the best of it. And have fun!"
Of the video, she added: "I did two days in gay Paree with a wonderful motley crew of amazing locals who transported me back to la belle epoque so convincingly I was ready to storm the Bastille by the time it was done. The video for Have Fun! Sort of encompasses the whole big wide overarching “theory” behind the album, actually. I hope you love it!!"
CMAT will support the record with a UK and Ireland tour in November and December. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on June 9.
