Boygenius collaborated with Irish folk duo Ye Vagabonds on the new version of "The Parting Glass," a Scottish traditional song that O'Connor previously recorded for her 2002 album Sean-Nos Nua.
Proceeds from the Boygenius and Ye Vagabonds cover will go to the Aisling Project, "an after-school project working with children and young people growing up in a disadvantaged area in Dublin, Ireland," Boygenius said on Instagram.
The charity was selected by the Sinead O'Connor Estate.
"We are absolutely thrilled that Boygenius have chosen to give proceeds from the release to Aisling Project," project leader Micheal Clear said. "It's an absolute privilege to be associated with the stunningly beautiful homage to Sinead O'Connor and we can't possibly thank Boygenius enough."O'Connor died at age 56 in July. The singer was best known for her 2000 rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U."
