Ireland’s finest is back on the couch to discuss his third album, ‘Weight of the Woods’ — a record that in part-took shape in Nashville, but is very much steeped in his home country. We get into the nitty gritty of the album, the relationship between sports and music and music-making, that Taylor Swift cover, “Blue Eyes,” J Cole and his hip-hop influences. Plus he recounts his meet-cute with Fred Again and how those two banging collabs came about, he clarifies (and is occasionally confused by) some Irish slang, and so much more.
