Hozier is the self-titled full-album debut from the Irish rock musician. It draws from blues, soul, and rock-and-roll to create twisted love songs filled with religious and macabre imagery.
Asked by The Sun if the romantic tunes on his debut album are inspired by anyone in particular, Hozier replied: “The songs are often framed between two people. The time some of them were written I was coming away from my first relationship. I’d never experienced being in love and being loved before. I would have been processing that.”
Yes, Hozier was certified 3x platinum by the RIAA on January 7, 2021.
