KNEECAP release new single ‘Love Making’

Irish rap trio KNEECAP have released their new single ‘Love Making’ this afternoon, after teasing the track via a social media post.

The track features Limerick-born vocalist Nino, aka Niamh Hinchy – known for her work as part of the Absolute Lilt duo, and the supergroup BIIRD.

It's the latest single to be released from KNEECAp's debut album Fine Art, set to come out on June 14.

The premiere of ‘Love Making’ follows the announcement of three dates at Dublin’s Vicar Street on October 29, 30 and 31 as part of their Fine Art tour, which will take the band on a string of summer festival dates including Glastonbury, Electric Picnic and Galway Arts, as well as a North American tour in September

2024 has been a busy year for KNEECAP, as the band has also put out a feature film directed by Rich Peppiatt. Set in a post-Troubles Belfast, the film tells the story of the rap group and how they became the unexpected face of a protest in defence of the Irish language.

The eponymous film won the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award: NEXT in January, after becoming the first Irish-language title to ever premiere at the festival. It was also selected from a pool of 13,016 submissions for New York’s Tribeca festival.
