Cian Ducrot has released his debut album. Titled 'Victory', the album is out now, with Cian also now releasing a choir and strings version, featuring his brother Eoin, who is a violinist.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Cian said: 'Buzzed to tell you the Choir and Strings version of my album is out now everywhere!! So delighted to share these! The amazing choir you all know as well as strings by my brother @eoinducrot5 and @onomeya.alfredoferre 🤍🤍 let me know what you think.'

The 25-year-old Irish singer-songwriter gained popularity on TikTok with his track 'All For You', which he also released as a collaboration with Ella Henderson. Taking to Instagram on his album's release day, Cian shared a lovely video of him singing his hit 'I'll Be Waiting' to a packed crowd on the streets of Cork.

Along with footage from the performance, the video also featured the words: 'Celebrating the release of my debut album. Bringing it back to the street where it all started. Never imagined I'd get to do this one day. Thank you for everything! Enjoy the album.'

Cian previously took to Twitter and Instagram to share the news of his upcoming album. He wrote: 'VICTORY. I'm bringing you my debut album on the 21st July.'

He then went on to share some of the personal experiences that shaped his music, including experiencing childhood trauma. Cian said: 'To begin to understand the album there's some things you need to know about my life, where I came from, how I was raised, and the kind of kid I was. A broken home at an early age is where the story really began, my mom, my brother and I became a team and music was our saviour.

'It saved us mentally and spiritually but it also allowed my mom to literally put food on the table. My dad was very abusive growing up both physically and sexually, my mother fought extremely hard to protect my brother and I, and to get us away from him.

'It wasn’t easy, it seemed like everything required years of fighting and perseverance. I have my mom to thank for the person I am today. When I dropped out of college to pursue being a songwriter, when not one person believed in me, I reflected on our past.

'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.

'This album is for all of those people and my amazing fans, we made it out alive and more. This is for us. This is Victory 🤍.'

Tracks on the album include 'All For You', 'I'll Be Waiting' and the newly released 'Part of Me'. Cian also recently supported Ed Sheeran on his UK and Europe tour and is set to embark on a solo tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland in July and August. Cian will also be bringing his 'Victory' tour to the UK in November.
