There's a new single on the way from Sinéad O'Connor – set to be released in support of Black Lives Matter on October 2.

Sharing news of the upcoming release on Twitter, Sinéad has also revealed that she shot a music video for the single in London, with legendary director, DJ and artist Don Letts. The single is produced by the the great Belfast producer, David Holmes.

She has since shared an update on Twitter, revealed that she's "just back from London", and as such, will be "restricting movement for two weeks."

"My house is going to be spotless and there will be lots of knitting," she continued – coining the ingenious new hashtag #KnittingCompares2U.

Don Letts, who initially rose to prominence as the videographer for The Clash, has previously played Sinéad on his Culture Clash radio show on BBC Radio 6.

Sinéad, meanwhile, has made a triumphant return over the last 12 months – with a sold-out run of shows and a stunning performance on the finale of the Late Late Show earlier this year.

She's also set to feature on our 'Rave On, Van Morrison' YouTube event, and recently contributed to our Van Morrison Special Issue of Hot Press, marking his 75th birthday. The new issue is out now:
