Cian Ducrot is set to release his eagerly anticipated second album ‘Little Dreaming’ on July 11th - the follow-up to his 2023 UK and Ireland #1 debut ‘Victory’. Cian launches the record by unveiling the official video for the title track ‘Little Dreaming’, and also announces a UK headline tour kicking off on 13th September in Manchester and includes London, o2 Academy Brixton on the 17th September 2025.
Fans that pre-order the album via Cian’s website by 10.00am GMT on 25th March 2025 will get access to pre-sale tickets for the tour. Tickets go on general sale HERE at 10.00am GMT on 28th March 2025.
‘Little Dreaming’ is a beautifully cohesive work that invites listeners to travel with him on a journey of self-discovery. Put together with a tight-knit group of trusted collaborators, it 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. Whereas ‘Victory’ was a brilliant demonstration of Cian’s early potential, ‘Little Dreaming’ is where he really comes into his own as a stadium-filling star.
Cian says, “This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience. 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.”
The current single is indicative of the brighter tones and grandstand pop edge that makes ‘Little Dreaming’ an essential evolution from his debut. Bouncing along a bright keyboard riff, Cian is supported by joyous vocal harmonies as he celebrates what makes us all special and unique, especially in the face of current caustic discourse. The official video features actors from two high-profile Irish TV shows: Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe from the acclaimed Disney+ series ‘Say Nothing’, and Chris Walley from the cult comedy ‘The Young Offenders’. Watch it HERE.
He adds, “I love how theatrical this one turned out, it feels reflective of my personality. 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.”
Fans adored ‘Victory’ for Cian’s willingness to unflinchingly open his heart in songs, and that quality returns as emotively as ever in ‘Little Dreaming’. They’re experiences we can all relate to, captured in his affectingly direct style: love and loss, family and friendship, community and roots, overcoming our struggles and trying to be a better version of ourselves. It was created with a trusted team of friends: Anton Göransson and Isabella Sjöstrand (RAYE), Grammy winner Lostboy (Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris), Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Måneskin), Tristan Salvati (Angèle), regular collaborator Bill Maybury (James Bay) and Will Bloomfield (The Vaccines, Alfie Templeman).
‘Little Dreaming’ is now available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. It will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats.
With over 1.4 billion streams to date, Cian recently won Best R&B Song as co-writer on 'Saturn' by SZA, at the GRAMMY Awards and just completed a UK and European arena tour as special guest to Teddy Swims. He also delivered a stunning performance of ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ as well as both national anthems at the recent Ireland v France Six Nations rugby match.
