After a stunning performance at the Ireland v France Six Nations rugby match and a well-deserved Grammy for co-writing SZA’s Saturn, the engine that is Cian Ducrot’s rise to fame shows no sign of slowing. His brand new single, “Little Dreaming,” is an uplifting reminder to know your worth, wrapped in bright melodies and harmonies that sound like a hug.
From its opening scramble, “Little Dreaming” is built around a vibrant keyboard riff that sounds like sunlight bursting from the clouds. As with much of Cian’s telling, there is a message of resilience and individualism in a world that seeks to turn people into boxes. The vocal harmonies add warmth to the track, making it a group celebration of individualism. The song makes you want to dance, sing, and believe in yourself more.
On the lyric front, “Little Dreaming” is both intensely personal and widely shared. This track talks to the dreamers, the misfits, and anyone who’s ever doubted their magic. Along with “Little Dreaming” comes the exciting announcement of three major headline shows, including Cian’s debut arena date in Dublin. This is another milestone in his meteoric rise, as he sold 36,000 tickets to his outdoor shows last summer. His next shows in London and Paris are expected to be the biggest yet, showing that his music resonates with fans and that he is writing anthems for a generation starved for hope.
Fusing heartfelt songwriting with the infectious melodies most artists aim for, Cian Ducrot has carved his lane to almost 1.4 billion streams. “Little Dreaming” is a marker of his artistic prowess, a deceptively feel-good track in its sound. “Little Dreaming” is the song you want if you’re looking for one that lifts the spirit and reminds them of their unique brilliance.
