cmat

Bigger, bolder and more diverse than her debut without losing an ounce of wit or charisma; CMAT’s is a voice that’ll be heard (swearing, probably) above anything.

The country ideals still shine through, with the swing and swagger used to colour her wry dissection of a breakup that allow her to deliver the most sincerely ridiculous line and have you sing and weep along. There’s quite simply no one else out there that could capture the universal experience of love and heartbreak in a folk-y pop song with the lyrics “I’d make you torso of the week / if I still bought Heat magazine”

‘Crazymad...’ opens up new directions musically as well, bringing in 90’s rock and 00’s pop to add some more dramatic tonal shifts to the mix. It’s an evolution similar to Kacey Musgraves’ ‘Golden Hour’ - it’s not country, but it’s not not country. Who cares what the label is. It’s fun.

“Hard-won wisdom is dispensed in waspy couplets, her romantic vision undercut by a sense of the ridiculous” - Loud And Quiet

That’s CMAT’s power - she takes the ridiculous seriously & ridicules the serious and packages it in a performance that’s equally tongue in cheek and earnest. There’s not another songwriter out there that can capture how daft - and how vulnerable - the heart can make you feel. CMAT’s a one of a kind.
