Cork singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot has announced that he will release his new album, Little Dreaming, on Friday 11 July.
The follow-up to Ducrot's chart-topping debut Victory, Little Dreaming "sees him showcase dazzling '70s and '80s-tinged sounds - influenced by greats such as Elton John, Michael Jackson, and Queen - all the while baring his soul through heartfelt, authentic songwriting".
"This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience," said Ducrot.
"I set out to just be as creative and as free and as expressive as possible, and I think we've done that. It's not an overstatement to say making the record has changed my life."
Ducrot has just released the video for the title track from the album, starring Say Nothing's Hazel Doupe and The Young Offenders' Chris Walley.
He said of the video: "I love how theatrical this one turned out, it feels reflective of my personality.
Watch: The video for Little Dreaming.
"It's about reconnecting with your inner child but also, as an adult, doing what you want, expressing yourself and not caring what anyone else thinks.
"Hopefully, breaking down those boundaries of toxic masculinity in the process."
The Grammy winner showcased the single on last Friday's Late Late Show.
Ducrot plays The Marquee in Cork in July and Dublin's 3Arena in December.
