CMAT Just Said What Most Pop Stars Won’t
CMAT’s acceptance speech at the Ivor Novello Awards was more than a viral moment. It was a challenge directed at an entire music industry increasingly built around silence, branding and caution. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I explore CMAT’s speech, Euro-Country, the rise of political tension in Ireland and Britain, the death of Yves Sakila, and the question sitting underneath all of it: What is art supposed to do when the world around it starts getting darker?
