Hozier has shared a new song called Francesca.
Led by his powerful vocals and soulful tone, with towering crescendos and an increased use of electronic instrumentation, it finds him moving away from his usual folk-inspired sound, while lyrically exploring the sin of the second circle of hell: lust.
Alongside All Things End and Eat Your Young, it'll appear on the singer-songwriter's upcoming album, 'Unreal Unearth', due out on August 18 via Island Records. Speaking to Rolling Stone back in March, he revealed that the record was influenced by Dante's Inferno, after he started reading the 14th century poem during the COVID-19 lockdown.
This summer, Hozier will hit the road for the UK and European leg of his Unreal Unearth Tour, which features outdoor concerts at London's Alexandra Palace Park on July 21, and Englefield House, Reading on July 23 as part of the Heritage Live series.
The 33-year-old is currently performing in North America, and will return there in the fall.
