"If My Wife New I'd Be Dead" is a striking CD release by Irish singer-songwriter CMAT, issued by the independent label Cmatbaby. Rooted in a modern, imaginative take on country and pop, the album combines witty, self-aware storytelling with big, melodically rich hooks.

The sound showcases CMAT's expressive voice and her knack for turning very personal situations into instantly relatable songs, with choruses that feel ready for sing-alongs yet remain deeply introspective.
