But where those early pursuits immersed him in his country’s rich musical traditions, his first single as a solo artist took aim at its most formidable institution. Few debut tracks come out swinging as hard as “Take Me to Church”, a doomy anti-gospel sermon that sets its crosshairs on the hectoring and hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, delivered in a commanding, corrupted-choir-boy voice imbued with equal doses of grace and grit. That striking single topped charts worldwide and scored Hozier a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Still, the self-titled debut album it introduced also showcased a singer-songwriter with a deft command of sweet soulful rockers (“Someone New”) and dreamy folk reveries (“Like Real People Do”). The dichotomy between rage and romanticism would only become more pronounced on 2019’s Wasteland Baby!, where some of Hozier’s prettiest performances to date (like the delicate finger-picked hymn “Shrike”) rub up against the righteous fury of “Nina Cried Power”, a spirited, Mavis Staples-assisted protest anthem that took him back to church to further rattle the steeple. The flames of protest burned on with “Swan Upon Leda”, a stirring prayer for women’s rights inspired by Egyptian feminist Mona Eltahawy and the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran. But all roads ultimately lead back home, and Hozier's next album, Unreal Unearth, centred Irish folklore and language across sprawling, searing tracks “Butchered Tongue” and “Eat Your Young”, collaged together with motifs from Dante's Inferno. In 2024, Hozier reminded fans that for every solemn paean, he can still pen a grizzled, hip-swivelling earworm, this time in the form of “Too Sweet”, a bluesy sinner's anthem that raced up the charts and proved his earlier successes were no mere miracle. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2014 02 Take Me To Church -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 19 Someone New -3- 2015 69 From Eden -2/4- 2018 87 Nina Cried Power (feat.

January 17, 20251 yr Hope jade is still to come! Can't see it :( I kind of knew if she wasn't #40 she wouldn't be there. She's probably about #44.
January 17, 20251 yr Over the moon that Imogen Heap has a top 40 hit to her name now :wub: I remember posting about 'Headlock' when it first showed up on the Spotify top 200 chart and never expected it to take off to this extent, great stuff.
January 17, 20251 yr Well, if you'd told me back then it'd be a top 40 hit almost 20 years down the line :o
January 17, 20251 yr What's the reason behind the revival of 'Headlock'? Got used in the game Mouthwashing then went viral on TikTok
January 17, 20251 yr I could see this growing on me but it's not usually my thing so it'll take a few listens
January 17, 20251 yr Author Hide & Seek was the only other Imogen song I knew before now, and I found that one pretty unremarkable (only remember it exists because of Derulo's sample lol x), this is much better on first play!
January 17, 20251 yr Hm some bits of 'Indigo' I like and some I don't so much. Good to get some new hits in though. 'Headlock' is rather nice though!
January 17, 20251 yr I suspect Jade will have missed by quite a margin sadly. Great for Imogen! :wub:
