I Was WRONG About CMAT – Now I Can’t Stop Listening

I’ll admit it—I was wrong about CMAT. When I first heard her early singles like Rodney and I Wanna Be a Cowboy, Baby, I wasn’t convinced. It felt like the humor was overshadowing the music. But everything changed when I heard If My Wife New I’d Be Dead. From Nashville to Peter Bogdanovich, I finally saw the depth behind the persona. Then came Crazymad, For Me—and by the time Stay For Something became my most-played song of the year, I was hooked.

Now, with her latest single Running / Planning and the upcoming album Euro Country, I’m all in. CMAT is a phenomenal songwriter, balancing wit and raw emotion in a way that few artists can.
