CMAT staged a theatrical photoshoot outside St Stephen's Green wearing a dress with Daniel O'Donnell's face and pushing a wheelbarrow of vinyl to mark a new album release. Her viral single Take a Sexy Picture of Me gained momentum via a TikTok dance trend, while Euro-Country critiques the financial crash and references "all the big boys and the Berties." The photoshoot involved RTÉ's Marty Whelan and a bandmate dressed as a €1 coin. Tourists and fans engaged with the spectacle, and a Cú Chulainn-themed walking tour amplified the scene. The album ties boom-and-bust themes to childhood and recession experiences and coincides with major headline show announcements and award nods.
Wearing a dress adorned with the face of Daniel O'Donnell and carting a wheelbarrow of vinyl records, the singer posed outside St Stephen's Green this afternoon following the release of her hotly anticipated new record. Her viral hit Take a Sexy Picture of Me - which took off alongside a TikTok dance trend - and her single Euro-Country made waves online, a track about the financial crash which took a swipe at "all the big boys and the Berties".
A walking tour of tourists led by a man dressed as Cú Chulainn and accompanied by a number of Irish wolfhounds added to the strange scene at St Stephen's Green. By coincidence, on her new album, the star sings: "And now I feel just like Cú Chulainn, I feel like Kerry Katona." CMAT recently announced her biggest Irish headline shows yet at St Anne's Park in Dublin and Virgin Media Park in Cork, following a sold-out run of dates and a nomination for a BRIT Award.
Speaking to Marty Whelan on RTÉ's Lyric FM this morning, she said the album deals with the boom and bust, discussing her childhood and the recession. "I'm also just making it really personal. I don't think there's any point in talking about political stuff unless you're going to have a lot of heart and soul and personal experience in it." Her last album Crazymad, For Me, earned her 'Album of the Year' nods from The Ivors, Mercury Pri
