Speaking to NME earlier this week, the singer described how ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ was inspired by the darkened state of the world when he began writing the record in 2016.

“It’s trying to look at the warm centre of human kindness and you find that in ‘Wasteland, Baby!’,” he explained.

“While there’s other songs on there that have doom and gloom and might touch upon it, Wasteland Baby goes straight for it. It lets us imagine how the worlds might end in a very real sense. But as long as there’s people, that ‘You and I’, there’s always potential for kindness and that is something to be hopeful about.”

‘Wasteland, Baby!’ is released on March 1. Hozier will also play Cork’s Irish Independent Park on Tuesday June 25 and Belfast Ormeau Park on Thursday June 27.
