It’s a daunting task to follow up an exceptionally original debut, and yet Dublin’s answer to Dolly Parton – the endlessly charismatic CMAT – seems to have done it with no bother at all. ‘If My Wife New I’d Be Dead’ laid the foundations for her refreshing talent for writing catchy pop songs with a unique country twist, but ‘Crazymad, For Me’ evolves that sound with determination and precision. A concept album about heartbreak and time travel, it’s both earnestly raw and playfully absurd, establishing CMAT – moniker of Ciara Mary Alice Thompson – as one of the most bracing pop acts of the 2020s.
We open with our protagonist, future CMAT, age 47, leaving for the desert to combat her devastation following a significant break-up (‘California’). The lyrics teeter with anger, but the luscious sonics – crafted from a simplistic R&B beat and a passive, Western-inspired riff – shield the listener from its full scope. As on the later track ‘Where Are Your Kids Tonight’, in which her vocals effortlessly entwine with her duet partner’s John Grant’s, her vocal performance is evocative of Paloma Faith or Duffy; pure powerhouse, with the ability to divulge an entire story through something as simple as a key change.
