@cmatbaby is BRICKS Voices digital cover star 🐋
Steeped in the melodic and structural tradition of 1970s country – think: Glen Campbell, Charley Pride, and Tammy Wynette – the artist’s third album ‘EURO-COUNTRY’ is unmistakably CMAT, blending pop sensibilities with narrative storytelling that is deeply personal, vividly Irish, and sometimes delightfully absurd. From indie-infused tracks like ‘Jamie Oliver Petrol Station’ to the soulful affirmations of ‘Ready,’ the album moves effortlessly between melancholy, satire, and celebratory chaos, reflecting both the highs and lows of her own journey.
Each song showcases her ability to harness the essence and narrative power of the genre, weaving evocative storytelling into compelling melodies. “Instead of me telling you how I feel, I am going to show you how I feel,” she explains. “Instead of saying, ‘I am sad because the world is bad,’ I’m more like, ‘I grew up in Blanchardstown, there was a shopping centre there, and it had a fountain in it.’ That’s the most country thing about the album.”
Throughout the project, CMAT explores weighty themes, from re-examining her geographical and metaphorical roots and reflecting on the economic forces shaping her native island in pedal-steel and percussion-heavy tune ‘EURO-COUNTRY’, to navigating the pressures of rising fame and of being a woman in the music industry via jazzy lyrical masterpiece ‘Janis Joplining’.
