Kneecap shares final single from their new album

Anticipation is rising for Belfast hip-hop trio Kneecap's sophomore album, Fenian, out Friday, May 1st. Earlier today, the group released the latest and final single from the album, "Irish Goodbye" featuring poet and artist Kae Tempest.

Listen below:

Yesterday, one of the trio's members, rapper Moglai Bap, took to social media to share a very personal and heartfelt statement behind the song. The new single, which closes out the album, is a tribute to Moglai Bap's late mother, who lost her long battle with depression.

He explains, "'Irish Goodbye' is about the mundane things me and my ma did together. I never realised it was the day-to-day stuff I would miss when she was gone." On the flipside, he mentions that re-watching footage of his late mother "allowed me to visualise happier times, instead of being so angry at the world.
