Hozier Album

I'm enjoying the new Hozier album. Favorite singles are "Sedated" and "Someone New." While no one knew who they were on SNL this weekend, EW makes the case for why this artist is an up-and-comer:

“Take Me To Church” acts as a fantastic entry point into his exceptional just-released self-titled full length debut. Hozier is full of soulful homegrown R&B, lots of folk flourishes, and lots of the singer’s confident, buttery tenor. The highlight is “Jackie and Wilson,” a strutting blues swagger that shows up early on the album. “It was trying to capture the excitement of soul music,” he explains. “I just wanted to do something a bit more fun and a bit more energetic. It’s a little runaway song, like if you imagine running away and being saved by this idea of somebody—that kind of infatuated way that people idealize people. Like that kind of Holden Caulfield idea of running away and being happy forever.”
