CMAT says she’s finished her third album: ‘It’s my best record to date’
An exciting update from the Irish star!

CMAT has confirmed she’s finished work on her anticipated third album, hailing it as her “best record so far”.
The Irish star – real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson – gave Rolling Stone UK the exciting update on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards tonight (March 1).
“There’s something very big that’s maybe in the shape of an album that’s coming very soon. The announcement is coming very soon. It’s all done and dusted,” she said when asked about new material.
“It was a really really difficult album to make and it took all of my creative juices. I locked myself in a studio in New York for four months and got a bit of scurvy. It sounds really different to the other two but it is very connected spiritually to everything happening in my life right now. I’m really proud of it, I think it’s my best record so far.”
The update comes as Thompson gears up to hit the road with Sam Fender for his European tour next week, before supporting the Geordie star at his massive UK stadium shows this summer.
“I’m with him a lot this year, I’m going around Europe with him as his solo support, which is gonna make me shit myself because it’s me and my guitar in front of six or thousand people!” she quipped.
