Nina Cried Power, Hozier's third EP, landed on Rubyworks on 7 September 2018, and it broke a long silence: this was the Irish singer's first new music since his self-titled debut album in 2014. The title track is the headline act, a slow-burning stomp with Mavis Staples alongside him, drawing its fire from the example of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Staples herself.
It makes a fitting mission statement for a musician whose folk, soul and blues roots have always come tangled up with political conscience and social-justice convictions, and the pairing with Staples lends the song a weight that no manifesto could. Consider it the opening salvo ahead of his second album, Wasteland, Baby!, the following year.
