CMAT has returned with a new single entitled ‘2 Wrecked 2 Care’, an Americana pop song about not getting sleep which the artist described as what “would have happened if Sheryl Crow ever had to work in a TK Maxx.”
“I wrote it during a particularly bad period for my sleeping pattern. It’s a song about not being able to fall asleep, and anxiety/stress-related insomnia, something I have suffered from for years. I think I developed it during years of low-paying, irregular shift work..”
“I’m fascinated by the Jekyll and Hyde effect of how a sliding scale of a lack of sleep completely changes your mood, and how you present yourself as a person. Does a regular lack of sleep force you to evolve into a different person entirely? Different thoughts? Different dreams? Different life than the one you would have if you had the freedom to live healthily? I like to think that ‘2 Wrecked 2 Care’ is the song that would have happened if Sheryl Crow ever had to work in a TK Maxx.”

2 Wrecked 2 Care follows on from ‘I Don’t Really Care For You‘ and is her fifth single.
