If you’re looking for an album that beautifully captures the essence of self-discovery, emotional depth, and good ol’ pop magic, then grab your headphones, folks! Cian Ducrot is back, and his upcoming album, "Little Dreaming," is set to drop today - 1st August and trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

For those who might not know, Cian burst onto the music scene with his infectious single “All for You.” Thanks to TikTok, this catchy tune hit number 2 on Ireland’s Singles Chart and made waves all the way to number 19 in the UK. His journey from classical flautist to pop sensation is both inspiring and relatable, making him a true icon in the making and on the rise!

Having had the pleasure of catching Cian live in concert, I can vouch for the euphoric energy he brings to the stage. Picture this: a venue pulsing with vibrant positivity, brilliant lights, and an audience singing along to every lyric. Those anthems from his debut album, “Victory,” truly shine live, especially tracks like “All for You,” "I’ll Be Waiting", and "Heaven," which resonate on so many levels. Cian’s ability to connect with his fans is palpable, making every performance feel like a celebration of love and resilience.

Now, let’s talk about “Little Dreaming.” Early reviews are pouring in, and they’re glowing! This album has been described as a perfect blend of 70s and 80s influences mixed with modern pop sensibilities. Think of the melodic brilliance of Elton John and Michael Jackson but with Cian’s unique twist. It’s like stepping into a time machine where you can dance your heart out while also reflecting on life’s beautiful messiness.

The emotional depth of this album is where Cian really shines. His authenticity and honesty in songwriting allow for connections that go beyond just enjoying the music; they take you on a journey through love, loss, and the struggles many face in today’s world. You'll find both introspection and uplifting moments that encourage you to dream big even in the face of adversity.

When it comes to standout tracks, where should I even start?

“The Book of Love,” “Hallelujah,” “God Only Knows,”and “My Best Friend” continue the emotional journey from his debut album, “Victory.” These songs beautifully tug at the heartstrings, showcasing Cian at his most vulnerable.

“Your Eyes” is an uplifting celebration of love and friendship. Described as an anthem of joy, it features lively claps, exuberant backing vocals, and a vibrant rhythm that reflects Cian’s personal journey and the comfort he finds in his loved ones.

Then there's “Shalalala,” where he swaps sorrow for lasting joy, not just any joy, but the kind that resonates deeply, supported by a powerful gospel choir that lifts you off your feet. Loud, luminous, and truly life-affirming, this track doesn’t just signal a new chapter in Ducrot’s career; it bursts open the doors to a whole new sound.

“Little Dreaming” has quickly become the song of the summer, making its way into numerous social media reels and getting everyone moving to this fresh, upbeat vibe.

“Who’s Makin' You Feel It” offers a catchy chorus reminiscent of Elton John’s style, making it easy to imagine a stadium full of Cian fans singing the line “Who’s making you feel” right back at him.

“What about Love” gives us a heartfelt, piano-driven mid-tempo love song with lyrics that are both introspective and contradictory as he grapples with questions of love and self.

Finally, “Kiss and Tell” features a distinctly Irish sound with its tin whistle, reminiscent of a modern-day Irish ballad that could stand alongside anything recorded by Ireland’s beloved Corrs on their Irish-themed Home album.

So mark your calendars, and make sure to add “Little Dreaming” to your playlist. With the heartfelt musicality and powerful messages woven throughout, this album is going to be a massive hit. And if you get the chance, don’t miss out on seeing Cian live again. You’ll leave feeling uplifted, empowered, and ready to embrace your true self, surrounded by a community that celebrates you just as you are.

Whether you’re dancing in your living room or out at the club, "Little Dreaming" promises to be the soundtrack of 2025. Get ready to dream big and live authentically, because Cian Ducrot is here to lead the way!
