Today's song comes from Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson aka CMAT, an Irish singer, songwriter and musician. As far as I know she is successful in making music since a couple of years. I got aware of her when she released EURO-COUNTRY the lead single from her upcoming new album.
It is a kind of country-pop, with percussive beat and remarkable melodies. What makes the song extraordinary is that she denounces the injustices in Ireland in the early 2000s with her sweet voice. The boom in Ireland burst, houses stood empty, the economy collapsed and the number of suicides rose significantly.
Packaging complex topics and socio-political discourse in such a way that they still sound extremely catchy and easy to digest. That's pop at its best.
