Hozier stands for a blues sound ranging from folk to gospel with profound lyrics in a tasteful indie guise. Edgy guitar riffs and spirited choral arrangements meet the necessary instinct for pop hooks. The result is a successful mix that whets the appetite for the charismatic Irishman's debut album:
Andrew Hozier-Byrne, Hozier's real name, has won the hearts of fans in recent weeks with his hit single "Take Me To Church". Within a few days, the high-flyer with the catchy voice catapulted himself into the charts and into the private playlists of prominent musicians.
Among the self-confessed fans are OneRepublic, Bastille, Gary Lightbody and Sam Smith. Colleague Kiesza recently covered "Take Me To Church".
"Hozier", the debut album by the eponymous Irish musician and singer-songwriter Hozier, celebrates its 10th anniversary with an extended 2CD release.
Originally released in 2014, the album features the Grammy-nominated lead single 'Take Me To Church' alongside 'From Eden', 'Sedated', 'Work Song' and more. The album has been certified multi-platinum in numerous countries.
