“It fell out of my mouth and onto the page in one brief sitting,” said O’Neill about the track. “I’m trying to be more honest with myself. If I can know my own chaos, chill with it, wear it like a parade of paradoxes, this would be me trying that on.”

O’Neill is also set to hit a number of summer festival stages, including the Haldern Pop Festival in Germany, as well as the Swiss event Zermatt Unplugged with the Stargaze Orchestra. She will also be playing the Live at the Marquee series in Cork with Flannery on June 21.

Her next solo album Now In a Minute is set for release in 2024.

Tickets for Susan O’Neill’s October 17 Whelan’s show will go out on May 3 from €22.00. For more information, click here.
