About

CMAT, the moniker of Irish singer-songwriter Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, is a whirlwind of wit, vulnerability, and unapologetic pop brilliance. With a voice that channels the grandeur of Dolly Parton and the irreverence of Lily Allen, CMAT crafts songs that are equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, blending country twang with glittering pop hooks. Her music is a kaleidoscope of influences, from classic Nashville storytelling to 2000s indie-pop, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. CMAT’s rise has been meteoric since her debut single, "Another Day (kfc)," a tongue-in-cheek anthem that showcased her knack for turning everyday absurdities into profound reflections. Her debut album, *If My Wife New I’d Be Dead* (2022), solidified her as a force to be reckoned with, earning critical acclaim for its sharp lyricism and infectious melodies. Tracks like "I Don’t Really Care for You" and "No More Virgos" became instant fan favorites, blending humor with raw emotional honesty. Beyond her music, CMAT’s cultural impact lies in her ability to connect with audiences through her unfiltered persona and relatable storytelling. She’s a Gen Z icon in the making, unafraid to tackle themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery with a wink and a smirk. Recent collaborations with artists like Orla Gartland and John Grant have further cemented her reputation as a versatile and boundary-pushing artist. Currently, CMAT is working on new material, promising more of her signature blend of humor and heartbreak, while continuing to captivate audiences worldwide.
