Cian Ducrot completes his arrival as a major new artist and completes a lifelong ambition as he releases his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Victory’. The Irish singer-songwriter has enjoyed a succession of landmark moments leading up to its release, the most recent of which came when ‘Heaven’ was playlisted at Radio 1. Other highlights have included two Top 20 UK singles with ‘All For You’ and ‘I’ll Be Waiting’; huge shows as guest to Ed Sheeran and Dermot Kennedy, surpassing over half a billion streams across tracks; and a stream of engaging fan interactions – from one-to-one duets to attention-grabbing flash mobs – which have resulted in a huge following across social media. Listen to ‘Victory’
Cian says, “This album represents that victory, the victory of self-belief, the victory of everyone around me who I love and who loved me back, the story of my brother, of my mother, of my grandparents, of my friends, and everyone who fought by our side every step of the way, the victory of love and the victory of never giving up. This album is for all of those people, my family and friends, you know who you are, we made it out alive and more. This is for us.”
In addition to its digital/streaming release, ‘Victory’ is now available on a range of physical formats, including numerous signed items, bundles and merch designs. Two CD formats go deeper into Cian’s artistry, with bonus tracks which focus upon choir and string arrangements of some of the album’s highlights.
In addition, Cian Ducrot has been announced as the latest act to become Spotify UK’s RADAR artist. The emerging artist programme was launched in 2020 and represents Spotify’s worldwide commitment to upcoming talent. Cian joins an exciting collection of UK artists to enjoy RADAR status in recent years, including the likes of Central Cee, Cat Burns, Wet Leg, PinkPantheress, Joy Crookes and Griff.
Cian is a prime example of an artist whose online following translates into a sizable IRL fanbase at live shows. He will support the release of ‘Victory’ with over 50 headline shows from now until the end of the year, including sold-out shows everywhere from New York to Birmingham and two homecoming nights in Dublin. Ticket sales are also strong for his biggest London gig to date at the Eventim Apollo. Please see his website for ticket details and a list of all his international shows.
