CMAT releases Americana-tinged pop track '2 Wrecked 2 Care'

Not content with belting out irresistibly catchy tracks like 'I Wanna Be A Cowboy, Baby!', 'Another Day (kfc)' and 'Rodney', CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has shared yet another pop gem.

'2 Wrecked 2 Care' is accompanied by an illustrated lyric video, and brings the Irish pop singer's Americana country roots into the fore once again.

“I wrote it during a particularly bad period for my sleeping pattern,” she explains. “It’s a song about not being able to fall asleep, and anxiety/stress-related insomnia, something I have suffered from for years. I think I developed it during years of low-paying, irregular shift work..

“I’m fascinated by the Jekyll and Hyde effect of how a sliding scale of a lack of sleep completely changes your mood, and how you present yourself as a person. Does a regular lack of sleep force you to evolve into a different person entirely? Different thoughts? Different dreams? Different life than the one you would have if you had the freedom to live healthily? I like to think that ‘2 Wrecked 2 Care’ is the song that would have happened if Sheryl Crow ever had to work in a TK Maxx.”

CMAT will play a headline show at Whelan’s, Dublin on November 5th and will perform at The Academy, Dublin on March 11th next year. The charismatic talent will also tour as a supporting act for star Declan McKenna and has landed festival slots at Latitude, Live at Leeds, and 2022’s Primavera.
