Hozier Self Titled

Hozier Self Titled Album

Irish singer/songwriter Hozier is in the midst of the breakthrough story of the year.  The self-titled debut album shot straight to the top of the official Irish sales chart with the biggest week 1 sales of 2014, outselling the top 12 albums combined.  The hit single -Take Me To Church' re-entered the top 10 Irish charts 1 year to the week since its initial release.  The album will be released October 10, and is streaming now in its entirety at iTunes HERE. 

 

Hozier's 2014 sold out North American tour kicked off on September 29^th and Since announcing his 2015 US tour last week, 14 shows of the 21 day trek have already sold out.

 

It's been a whirlwind year for the soulful Hozier since posting his heartrending video for -Take Me To Church' on YouTube WATCH HERE, which has amassed over eleven million views. -Take Me To Church' has scored a combined total of more than 590,000 tracks sold – all before the self-titled album's official release on October 10. Hozier recently nailed a string of electrifying performances on The Late Show With David Letterman and The Ellen DeGeneres Show – and being awarded a coveted performance slot as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on October 11^th.

 

-Take Me To Church' has also become one of the most incredible Spotify success stories since the streaming service began six years ago.  'The most viral artists Spotify has ever seen," raved the Spotify News, with the song surpassing 21 million streams and Hozier landing six songs in the US Spotify Viral 50.

 

Hozier acknowledges influences of blues, folk, and soul on his upcoming album – shredding this all-encompassing blend into a deftly woven signature sound that can be heard on his first two EPs, Take Me To Church and From Eden.  Hozier co- produced the new album with Rob Kirwan (PJ Harvey and Depeche Mode), and fans who pre-order the self-titled debut will receive five instant grat downloads: -Take Me To Church', -From Eden', -Work Song,', -Cherry Wine' and -Jackie and Wilson'.

 

Boston Globe columnist James Reed compared Hozier's stunning set at this year's Newport Folk Festival to the first time he saw Arcade Fire and Amy Winehouse.  'There was this unmistakable feeling that we were witnessing a star on the rise…" writes Reed.  'When he (Hozier) left the stage, the audience stood starstruck."
