This Friday you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to Irish music with two crowd favourites releasing new material today.
Hozier is back with his new album after a long four year wait for fans.
The Nina Cried Power EP is available to listen to online.
The EP is only four songs in length and Hozier himself says that Nina Simone was a major tribute for the project.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, he said that Simone inspired the title song, referring to it as "a song about protest songs."
And if this wasn't enough good news for you, the man himself said that this was just a 'small taste' of what's to come on his upcoming full-length album.
#NinaCriedPower is out now. It’s a joy to share new work with you after so long. Listen here: https://t.co/Iur81FhykT pic.twitter.com/kaGxncP6VJ
