CrazyMad, for Me is CMAT's second album, released in 2023, and it sees the Irish artist diving even deeper into her unique blend of pop, country, and indie with a dash of surreal humor. Known for her vivid storytelling and witty lyrics, CMAT uses this album to explore themes of obsession, love, and identity with a more introspective and sometimes darker lens compared to her debut.
The album is packed with tracks that mix infectious melodies with CMAT’s sharp, confessional style, including standout songs like "Where Are Your Kids Tonight?" (a collaboration with John Grant) and "Have Fun!" where her vocal range and knack for catchy hooks shine. Throughout CrazyMad, for Me, CMAT draws on influences from classic Americana and 70s pop, mixing twangy guitars and lush harmonies with synth touches, creating a sound that feels both timeless and distinctly modern.
With CrazyMad, for Me, CMAT balances her trademark humor with a more complex emotional edge, offering fans a deeper, more mature perspective on her songwriting. It’s an album about navigating life’s highs and lows, full of heartache, joy, and self-reflection—a testament to CMAT’s growth as an artist and storyteller.
