This acronymic star feels like she’s been part of the culture forever – and what has endeared fans to her heart-sore tunes and humour is CMAT’s ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation.
Country music has always been a lynchpin for CMAT, but this is country in an augmented, reimagined way. Mixed with classic indie and affirmative soul-pop, it resists the music industry’s desire to pigeonhole artists as one genre.
Not only is there a palpable tonal shift, ‘EURO-COUNTRY’ also feels like a huge step-up creatively. There is a sense of determination, of urgency, of ‘gather round and listen up’. From re-evaluating where you come from (geographically, metaphorically) and the impact of economics on a small country, to the attention that comes with increased fame (not all of it good) and being a woman in the music industry.
