Cian Ducrot releases his second album, ‘Little Dreaming’, he has done it again – this time creating a dazzling ‘70s and ‘80s-influenced sound which has taken him on a new journey of self-discovery as he bares his soul via heartfelt, authentic and completely unguarded songwriting.
Recent singles such as ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’, ‘Little Dreaming’, ‘Shalalala’ and ‘Your Eyes’ bring a rousing Technicolour pop playfulness to his style, which provides an engaging counterpoint to his core emotionally intense balladeering.
The new focus track ‘What About Love’ blends both of those qualities, and is one of Cian’s personal favourites on the record. It’s a song which builds in stature, from its intimate Elton John-tinged opening into a dramatic, stadium-bound ballad. ‘What About Love’ just “fell out of him” one day while he was sitting at the piano as he reflected on his journey so far. It asks a simple question: what do wealth, looks or success mean without love?
The rest of ‘Little Dreaming’ bursts with Cian’s far-reaching sound, revealing highlights at every turn such as the Irish folk flourishes on ‘Kiss And Tell’, a raw portrait of loss on ‘My Best Friend’, and ‘Hallelujah’, which shows his stunning voice at the height of its power as he sings in a devotional, spine-tingling call. It ends on a glorious high, with the Queen-influenced rock-meets-funk grandeur of ‘See It To Believe It’.
In addition to its digital release, physical copies of ‘Little Dreaming’ are available to buy HERE. His official store offers an exclusive tricolour splatter vinyl, while CD and cassette bundles also offer an optional signed art card.
Cian recently played two sold-out shows in Cork to 12,000 fans, which the Irish Examiner praised as “a homecoming to remember.” Currently on a major US tour as guest to Teddy Swims, Cian’s own ‘The Dream Ship Tour 2025’ continues next month with highlights including his biggest London show so far at the O2 Academy Brixton and a huge finale at Dublin’s 3Arena. Remaining tickets are available HERE.
