His SNL performance comes at an exciting time in his career. Earlier this month, he released Unreal Unearth: Unaired, a deluxe edition of his 2023 acclaimed album Unreal Unearth. The new album features almost ten additional tracks, including the chart-topping hit “Too Sweet” and a new song, “Hymn to Virgil.” This project reflects his signature blend of soulful melodies and poetic lyrics, elements that have cemented his status as a global artist.
The singer’s episode is expected to offer a memorable evening, pairing the performer’s music with Martin Short‘s comedy. The singer and the official SNL account teased this appearance on social media. The “Work Song” performer even expressed his excitement, calling it a “wild way to end this year.”
Fans are eager to see what the artist has in store regarding performances. While he will most likely perform his major hits, many expect him to perform tracks from his deluxe album. Regardless, devoted fans have taken to social media to share how thrilled they are about the singer’s appearance on the comedy series.

The musician’s blend of artistry and stage presence continues to resonate with fans new and old, promising an unforgettable night for SNL viewers and listeners of the singer alike.
