Hozier delivered an inspiring performance of his new protest song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night.

R&B legend Mavis Staples and a capable backing band added extra emotion to the title track from the Irish singer-songwriter’s new EP, Nina Cried Power.

Hozier previously described the four-song set as a sampler of his upcoming album, and noted “Nina Cried Power” was a thank you note to artists and activists that have changed the world.
