Hozier
Hozier, born Andrew John Hozier-Byrne in Newcastle, County Wicklow, Ireland, in 1990, is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter celebrated for his powerful baritone voice and a unique musical blend of folk, blues, soul, and indie rock. He first rose to global prominence in 2013 with his viral breakthrough single "Take Me to Church," an anthemic track that tackled themes of religious institution and human rights, earning him a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Following his multi-platinum 2014 self-titled debut album and his chart-topping sophomore record Wasteland, Baby! (2019), he further expanded his artistic depth with his third major project, Unreal Unearth. This massive creative undertaking, inspired by Dante's Inferno, culminated in a sprawling multi-part project and yielded his first-ever Billboard Hot 100 number-one global hit single, "Too Sweet".

Lyrics: Boys workin on empty Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love, I could barely eat And I was burnin up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark Earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her That’s when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin in her room, but an empty crib
