CMAT announces her second album Crazymad, For Me
The announcement coincides with new single, "Have Fun!".
Premiering as Hottest Record in the World by Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 last night (31 May), "Have Fun!" is the second single from CMAT's forthcoming second album, Crazymad, For Me, following on from "Whatever's Convenient".
"This is a song about ring necked parakeets that are wild in London, but it is also a song about getting over a breakup and moving on from an emotional stalemate even when you don’t, or can’t, forgive the other person’s actions," says CMAT. "I suppose it is a song about how things in life are never satisfying, and don’t make sense, but they exist anyway and we have to make the best of it. And have fun!”
Co-produced by Matias Téllez and Rob Milton, the track is accompanied by a video which was shot in Paris and Dublin by Collective Film.
Of the video, CMAT says: "I did two days in gay Paree with a wonderful motley crew of amazing locals who transported me back to la belle epoque so convincingly I was ready to storm the Bastille by the time it was done. The video for "Have Fun!" Sort of encompasses the whole big wide overarching “theory” behind the album, actually."
