The boygenius songwriter and singer’s latest fourth album Forever Is a Feeling is out today, and features a collaboration with Hozier on a track called ‘Bullseye’.
Much of the record is about falling in love, which is actually about the relationship she has with her fellow supergroup boygeniuser Julien Baker, as was confirmed by a New Yorker profile by Amanda Petrusich.
The performance of ‘Bullseye’ in the National Gallery in Dublin was filmed for Other Voices only last week, and shared today on Forever Is a Feeling album released day.
Dacus first met Hozier, one of her favorite artists, when he joined boygenius onstage at their show in Boston in September 2023. She later invited him to duet with her on “Bullseye”, a song about a breakup in which she felt both partners’ respective voices should be portrayed.
Lucy Dacus plays Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens in July.
