Our Take

Hozier's long-awaited follow-up to his self-titled debut album, "Wasteland, Baby!" has finally arrived, and it's a mixed bag of sultry R&B and anthemic folk-rock that will leave you feeling blissfully confused.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals on tracks like "Dinner and Diatribes" to the foot-stomping goodness of "Nina Cried Power," Hozier showcases his versatility as a songwriter and performer. The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for blending genres and creating a sound that is uniquely his own.

While some tracks may feel a bit repetitive or derivative, overall "Wasteland, Baby!" is a solid effort that will satisfy both die-hard fans and casual listeners. Standout tracks include the epic opener "Movement" and the soulful "To Noise Making (Sing)."

Hozier's lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, with themes of love, loss, and the human condition running throughout the album. His voice is as powerful as ever, soaring to new heights on tracks like "Almost (Sweet Music)" and "Shrike."

Overall, "Wasteland, Baby!" is a journey through the highs and lows of the human experience, set to a backdrop of lush instrumentation and soulful vocals. Hozier has once again proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let Hozier serenade you into oblivion. Cheers, mate!

Hozier

HOZIER: The Patron Saint of Soul-Stirring Ballads With a voice like honey poured over gravel and a penchant for crafting spellbinding melodies, HOZIER has cemented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the realm of contemporary folk and soul music. The Irish singer-songwriter, born Andrew Hozier-Byrne, burst onto the scene in 2013 with his breakout single "Take Me to Church," a hauntingly beautiful ode to love, protest, and spirituality that catapulted him into international stardom. But to pigeonhole HOZIER as a one-hit wonder would be a grave disservice to his artistry. His self-titled debut album, released in 2014, is a masterclass in songwriting, blending intricate guitar work, gospel-inspired harmonies, and raw, emotive lyrics that cut straight to the core. Tracks like "From Eden" and "Work Song" showcase his ability to infuse traditional folk with a modern edge, while the soul-stirring ballad "Cherry Wine" is a poignant exploration of love's darker side. Since his debut, HOZIER has continued to push boundaries and defy expectations with each new release. His sophomore album, "Wasteland, Baby!" (2019), sees him embracing a more polished sound while retaining the raw, visceral energy that made him a household name. Songs like "Movement" and "Almost (Sweet Music)" are infectious and uplifting, underpinned by his powerhouse vocals and poetic lyricism. In a musical landscape rife with industry plantations and manufactured pop stars, HOZIER stands out as a beacon of authenticity and musical integrity. His music is a testament to the power of storytelling, of using words and melodies to tap into the deepest recesses of the human soul. So, join us as we raise a glass to the Patron Saint of Soul-Stirring Ballads – long may HOZIER reign.
