Andrew Hozier-Byrne (a.k.a. Hozier), the Irish songwriter, has recently stopped by the Corus studio to chat with Tom Schenck about what’s going on with him, and what’s to come in 2019.

Hozier is celebrating the release of his third studio EP, Nina Cried Power, along with the commencement of a North American tour featuring several Canadian gigs.

Nina Cried Power was mainly inspired by the likes of the legendary civil rights movement activist and songwriter Nina Simone.  Hozier drops names from B.B. King to Billie Holiday on the tune as a tribute as well. He has described them as individuals who spoke and sang with honesty and hope in very difficult and uncertain times.

Hozier collaborated with the blues legend Mavis Staples, who performed on the title track. He also worked with Booker T Jones of Booker T & the MGs on the record.

The Take Me to Church singer says we should expect his sophomore album “within the first few months of 2019.” He also revealed that he’ll be dropping a brand new single from the forthcoming album “in a couple of weeks.”
