It has been nominated for numerous awards and received widespread critical acclaim.  Irish pop sensation CMAT, broke into the US public consciousness this year with a marked rapid assent that follow the critically acclaimed 2025 release of EURO-COUNTRY, her album blending pop, folk, country, and indie rock, which explored themes as wide-ranging as Irish economics, to the experience of being a woman in the music industry.  Since the album’s release, CMAT has garnered almost 300M streams, a major viral moment with her single "Take A Sexy Picture Of Me” and a litany of co-signs from artists like Brandi Carlile, who called her a "once in every 500 years star", Olivia Rodrigo, who covered her song “When A Good Man Cries” on BBC Radio 1, and Elton John, Robyn, Hayley Williams and Marcus Mumford have all proclaimed themselves fans.

Cherry Bomb reflects beams of soft light through jagged memories on new single "Myriad Reflector"

CHERRY BOMB SHARES NEW SINGLE "MYRIAD REFLECTOR" REFLECTS BEAMS OF SOFT LIGHT THROUGH JAGGED MEMORIES IN A DANCE POP ANTHEM THAT BLOWS OUT THE SPEAKERS LISTEN HERE | WATCH HERE CHERRY BOMB MAKES HER SOLO FESTIVAL DEBUT AT ALL THINGS GO: NYC 2026 JOINING FIRST-EVER ALL-FEMALE LINEUP IN THE HISTORY OF THE FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 27 AT FOREST HILLS STADIUM

Cherry Bomb, the Los Angeles-based solo project of MisterWives' Mandy Lee, announces "Myriad Reflector", her newest single that strikes like lightning in a glass jar. Inspired by the original name for the disco ball, Cherry Bomb's latest transforms the cracks between jagged pieces of mirrors — frames for reflection and memory — into beams of light. "Need the broken pieces for light to get in between," she snaps in her signature operatic vocals, which soar above the fried synth pop core of the track. In the next breath, she lets all her haunted memories go: "Now I barely hear you when i’m blowing out the speakers!" The disco ball is "the heart of the dance floor," says Mandy Lee. When it came to writing her anthemic, new track, she said, "The multitudes of tiny, glittering, fragmented mirrors sparked the idea of how much we need the broken pieces to let the light get through. Much like our own experience the good the bad and the painful jagged parts soften with time and you learn to embrace all sides." LISTEN: "Myriad Reflector" "Myriad Reflector" comes with a new music video directed by Matty Vogel. Returning to her hometown of New York City to film, Cherry Bomb plays with the idea of reframing dark memories into flashes of fun, light, and fondness. "It's an ode to the city that raised me and my love of music," says Lee. "The video takes place on the subway that, akin to a myriad reflector, brings together a constellation of individual fragments to create a single mosaic. It was made with the help of my incredible crew and video vixen friends whose joy has inspired its feeling." WATCH: "Myriad Reflector" (Official Music Video)

Earlier this year, Lee unveiled Cherry Bomb with the splashy, upbeat banger "Never Be Me (M★ther★cker)." PAPER Magazine, who debuted the video, wrote, "The track is pop perfection, chronicling her departure from her old life and excitement for the road ahead. Her fluttering vocals that earworm synths define this genre she’s calling “popera.” Adding, the video, "highlights bright, DIY-ed costumes and the feminine energy-filled community that’s helped her reach these new heights."  WATCH: "Never Be Me (M★ther★cker)" Listeners then got a taste of Mandy Lee's rebellious side with "Digital Girl," a dizzying Y2K-inspired synth pop single offering fiery resistance to the pressures of modernity. FLOOD Magazine, who debuted the official music video on April 2, says it's "just as vibrant as the song itself. Immersing the viewer in the colorful world the song establishes with its explosive chorus and underlying ’00s club beat, the video also emphasizes the lyrical themes explored on the single." They added, “[First single] Never Be Me” had more in common with the modern pop canon as established by Chappell Roan, while its follow-up single “Digital Girl” dipped its toes in the digital-age operatics of Caroline Polachek’s catalog." WATCH: "Digital Girl" (Official Video) Cherry Bomb's artistic vision then grew to biblical proportions on the glamorous, disco pop anthem of "Sorry You're Not Sorry", a story of self-love, confidence, and alchemizing heartbreak into heartbeats, pumping all the pain away one dance at a time. Its music video features the Haus Of Cherry — a troupe of dancers, drag queens, showgirls, and divas — and visually hammers the final nail in Mandy Lee's coffin for all the guilt she no longer needs to feel. It mirrors the neon, bedazzled world of Cherry Bomb with feather boas, the highest high heels, and the extravagant spirit of ballrooms, channeling the flamboyance of cult classic films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. WATCH: "Sorry You're Not Sorry" (Official Music Video) Cherry Bomb is also excited for her upcoming performance at this year's All Things Go music festival in New York City. Proud to join the first-ever all women-led lineup for a major musical festival, she's going to be making her solo debut on September 27, playing alongside powerful indie pop icons and emerging talent like MUNA, Grace Ives, hemlocke springs, and Carly Rae Jepsen. "Having toured for over a decade, you learn pretty quickly you’ll often be one of the few if not only female artists on an entire festival bill," she told Impact earlier this month. "To see the paradigm finally shifting is inspiring and gives me hope for what more stages and spaces should look like. I’m so honored and elated for Cherry’s first show to be All Things Go who are paving the way for the change and community I’ve been dreaming of!” For over a decade, Mandy Lee has led alt-pop band MisterWives with her distinctly compelling vocals and commanding stage presence–including several tours, festivals around the world and four official studio albums, one live album and one deluxe album. Now, Lee is ready to shape a sonic universe that completely her own–blending party with the profound. Stay connected with Cherry Bomb via Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

ABOUT CHERRY BOMB Mandy Lee is stepping into her power with Cherry Bomb — a fierce, glitter-soaked solo project born from rebellion, heartbreak, and radical self-expression. Best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of MisterWives, Lee uses Cherry Bomb as a bridge to get back to who she was before the world told her who to be. Lee lights on the fuse on her first single, the space disco banger “Never Be Me,” which she calls “a declaration of independence about shedding a loveless love. I came home that night from working on the song and just had it blasting in my headphones, dancing around my house alone. It just felt so cathartic.” Cherry Bomb's second release “Digital Girl” is a confetti-covered, glitching TV fuzz, y2k party champagne-soaked banger for the overstimulated over-thinkers who just want to be seen for their true colors. In a world dragged around by social media likes that go up in tandem with insecurity driven self doubt, Cherry Bomb is raging against the machine in full technicolor with an unbreakable love from within. Inspired by icons like Madonna and Blondie, the music fuses space disco, punk spirit, and diary-like confessionals into a sound that’s both danceable and defiant. This isn’t a reinvention — it’s a detonation.
