22-year-old singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Cian Ducrot has released new single Fucked Up All The Time.
Following on from previous releases Clothes and 21 Seconds, Cian has released a monochrome video for Fucked Up All The Time, which shows him playing a range of instruments from piano and guitar to drums and flute.
Watch the video below:
Fucked Up All The Time combines Cianās emotive vocal with pop production that moves from melancholic piano and unhurried beats, into a rich and dramatic soundscape with subtle electronic elements.
Raised in Cork but based in Camden, Cian used to busk with a friend and he landed a full scholarship to Londonās prestigious Royal Academy of Music. He found a mentor in Shawn Mendesā pianist Eddy Ruyter and after spending time writing in Los Angeles, London and Ireland, he dropped out of college to focus on his career.
Cian explains, āI was at home, Iād dropped out of the Royal Academy, and there was a backlash from my family, even my friends, telling me: āThat’s the worst decision you could have possibly made. Youāre broke. What are you going to do?ā I was alone in my room and I voice noted a lyric: āI’m so sick of feeling so fucked up all the time.ā Then I sat down and started playing piano, at one in the morning. It all flooded out. Iād felt awful. But then I felt better.ā
